Alpha
As mentioned, alpha waves fall in the middle of the brain wave spectrum.

Your brain produces these waves when you’re not focusing too hard on anything in particular. Whatever you’re doing, you’re probably feeling relatively calm and relaxed. These waves measure between 8 and 12 Hz.

How are brain waves measured?
We can’t see brain waves, but we can measure them. A test called an EEG can identify and measure the electrical activity in your brain.

With an EEG, a technician will place a series of small metal discs called electrodes all over your scalp. The discs convey the electrical activity of your neurons through wires to a machine, which records and prints the patterns out on a screen or paper.

Your doctor may order an EEG to see if there are any unusual patterns in your brain waves, or problems that might suggest you have epilepsy or another type of brain disorder.

What are the benefits of alpha waves?
You may be wondering why alpha waves are so important. When your brain is producing these waves, it’s responding to activities like meditation and rest that can reduce your stress levels and help you feel calmer.

If you’re able to produce alpha brain waves, you’re probably able to tap into a state that can help you get some rest and relaxation.

Boosting your alpha waves might also increase your creativity levels. In a 2015 study, researchers found evidence that they could trigger a surge in creativity if they specifically focused on enhancing alpha waves.

The study was small­ — only 20 participants — but as a randomized trial, it could hold promise for the use of noninvasive brain stimulation to rev up your brain’s production of alpha brain waves.

What happens if alpha waves are interrupted or out of balance?
Your brain doesn’t stop producing one type of brain wave just because you shift into a different state of consciousness or alertness.

It’s more that one type of brain wave will dominate at any given time, based on whether you’re awake or asleep, focused, or floating along. If for some reason your brain isn’t producing very many alpha waves, it means that you’re not in a relaxed, meditative state of mind.
