Brain waves represent the fundamental rhythms that regulate our mental and physical well-being
Imagine that your brain is like the battery of a smartphone, where every kind of brain wave is a function or mode of use. When all modes are balanced, the battery lasts a long time and the phone works perfectly. But if a mode is excessive or lacking, the battery drains inefficiently or cannot meet your needs.
Delta Waves (0.5-4 Hz): Deep Energy Saving Mode
- Excess: the phone is always in ultra power-saving mode. Everything is slow, many apps don’t work, and you feel tired and unable to react.
- Deficiency: saving mode never activates. The battery drains too quickly and you cannot recover properly. You always feel tired and poorly rested.
Theta waves (4-8 Hz): night mode
- Excess: the night mode is always active. The screen is too dark, and you struggle to see what you are doing. You are lost in your thoughts, without clarity or focus.
- Deficiency: Night mode never switches on. The light is too intense, and you can’t relax or find moments of calm to reflect.
Alpha Waves (8-12 Hz): standby mode
- Excess: the phone remains on standby all the time. You never use it to do something concrete, and you feel lazy and stuck.
- Deficiency: the standby mode does not work. The phone is always active, draining the battery unnecessarily. You feel tense and unable to relax.
Beta Waves (12-30 Hz): multitasking mode
- Excess: the phone has too many apps open in the background. It slows down, overheats and consumes battery quickly. You feel anxious and overloaded.
- Deficiency: multitasking is disabled, and you can only do one thing at a time. You struggle to focus and manage several tasks at once.
Gamma Waves (30+ Hz): high performance mode
- Excess: the performance mode is always active, but it consumes the battery extremely quickly. You are overwhelmed by too many thoughts and details.
- Deficiency: the performance mode never turns on. The phone is unable to handle complex operations. You lack mental clarity and the ability to see the bigger picture.
The ideal phone:
When energy saving (Delta), night mode (Theta), standby (Alpha), multitasking (Beta) and high performance (Gamma) are activated at the right time, the phone works efficiently. You can alternate moments of rest, reflection, work and creativity without draining the battery or overloading yourself.
