Alpha waves close your mind for distraction, but not continuously, research suggests. FULL STORY. Alpha waves were long ignored, but gained interest of brain researchers recently. Electrical activity of groups of brain cells results in brain waves with different amplitudes. The so-called alpha wave, a slow brain wave with a cycle of 100 milliseconds, seems to play a key role in suppressing irrelevant brain activity.
In fact, even the simple act of closing your eyes will produce Alpha waves in your brain. Some feel that when the body is in a relaxed state, it will send, through the spinal cord, signals to the thalamus in order for the brain to interpret the signals. These signals are then interpreted as Alpha waves.n a sense, a person learns to control their brain waves. However, keep in mind that with brain wave therapy one is not controlling the actual electrical and synaptic connections in the brain, but rather a person learns to control the subjective events that the brain associates with Alpha signals.
