39. How Auditory Stimuli / Sounds Affect Our Neurotransmitters & How to Use Brainwave Entrainment to Optimize Your Workflow - Focus, Productivity, Even Relaxation!

40 minutes

Today, we are talking about how neurons communicate with each other via neurotransmitters and how these neurotransmitters contribute to various brainwave states. Then, we dive into different auditory stimuli that can entrain the brain to certain brainwave states, thus permitting the supposed ongoing release of certain neurotransmitters. This may ultimately affect mood, productivity, relaxation, and more! Stay tuned... this is a good one!

Topics:

1. Introduction:

- The potential of sound to optimize brain chemistry

- Different types of auditory stimuli: music, sound frequencies, natural soundscapes, and binaural beats

2. Understanding the Brain:

- Anatomy of the Central Nervous System: Neurons and Glia cells

- Structure of Neurons: Cell body, axon, and dendrite

- Neurotransmitters and synapses

3. Neural Communication Process:

- Resting Membrane Potential and its maintenance

- Stimulation of Neurons

- Action Potential:

- Depolarization and Repolarization

- Role of Sodium and Potassium ions

- Propagation of Action Potential and its role in neurotransmitter release

4. Brainwaves & Neurotransmitters:

- Introduction to Brainwaves

- Role of Amino Acid Neurotransmitters: GABA (inhibitory) and Glutamate (excitatory)

- Different Brainwave Types: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma waves

5. External Influences on Brainwaves:

- Auditory stimuli

- The concept of brainwave entrainment

6. Application & Implications:

- Using brainwave entrainment to optimize various tasks:

1. Morning Meditation or Relaxation

2. Work, Problem Solving, and Analytical Thinking

3. Creative Work or Brainstorming

4. Deep Work or High-Level Information Processing

5. Breaks, Quick Naps, or Short Meditations

6. Evening Relaxation or Preparing for Sleep

7. Deep Meditation or Deep Sleep

7. Scientific Findings on Music & Brainwaves:

- Mozart’s Sonata in D Major for Two Pianos K448

- Beethoven’s "Für Elise"

- The monochord sounds and its effects

- "Pleasant" music's influence on patients with depression, schizophrenia, or anxiety

8. Binaural Beats:

- Introduction and concept

- How you can use binaural beats

9. Conclusion:

- Importance of balanced brainwave activity

- The interrelationship between neurotransmitters and brainwaves
