Beta rhythm refers to brain activity in the beta frequency band (12–30 Hz). Beta waves are prominent during active, focused thinking, problem-solving, and alert wakefulness.
Characteristics
- •Frequency — 12–30 Hz
- •Location — often strongest in frontal lobes during focused tasks
- •Subjective — alert, engaged, thinking
- •Function — sustained attention, cognitive control
In ONDA Life
Part 8 lists "increased beta-rhythm power in the frontal lobes" as a biological marker of progress. It indicates improved neural resilience — the brain's ability to sustain focus and maintain cognitive control.
Scientific Basis
Built on: Polyvagal Theory (Porges); Psychoneuroimmunology (Ader & Cohen); neuroplasticity research.
