Theta waves
What? When you’re doing automatic tasks, your brain produces theta waves. These create a detachment of mind from body, which can enhance recall.
Harness them for... Preparing a speech Create a high theta state with a 30-minute walk around a repetitive route, says neuroscientist Professor Øyvind Ellingsen. Straight after is ideal for fact-cramming.
Gamma waves
What? These aid learning, sweeping from your brain’s thalamus, linking new thoughts with memories.
Harness them for... Learning fresh skills Boost learning skills or prepare for new tasks with binaural beats – synchronised tones played in stereo – to induce gamma waves. Try Binaural Beat Brainwave Subliminal Systems (79p, amazon.co.uk).
