ScienceDaily Apr. 9, 2009 — Can we always see what is in front of us? According to Dr. Tony Ro, a Professor of Psychology and Cognitive Neuroscience at The City College of New York CCNY, the answer is “no.” New research published in The Journal of Neuroscience by Professor Ro and colleagues from the University of Illinois demonstrates that the brain cannot detect images when brainwave activity is in a trough.
“We may have our eyes open, but we sometimes miss seeing things,” Professor Ro said. “When the brain is in a state of readiness, you see; when it is not, you don’t see.”
Brainwave activity has peaks and troughs that can occur around 10 times a second, he explained. In their research, Professor Ro and his colleagues demonstrated how the phase of the brainwave or alpha wave can reliably predict visual detection.

About the author
I've been an entrepreneur in printing, graphics, web design and computer programming for 20 years. I've been a musician all of my life starting on piano, then to clarinet, bass guitar, and now use Reason & Tracktion for composing and mixing. (My Mom says I sang before I talked) I also use Tracktion to mix my binaural beats into the background music and sounds used in our products. Much of the ambient music used by Brain Beats Audio is written and produced by me. I've been creating and using subliminal recordings and brainwave entrainment products since the 1980's. I've noticed over the last few years that binaural beats and brainwave entrainment have grown immensely in popularity. I've also noticed that the quality of most of the products being sold today is sub-par. Even the big names in brainwave entrainment right now sell recordings that are low in quality and they are still able to command top dollar for their products (names end in "sync") ;)
I hope you enjoy the quality products produced here at Brainwave Directions. If you have suggestions for new products or are interested in custom work, please don't hesitate to contact me at gregg@brainwv.com.
