Scientific Overview of Brainwave Entrainment (431 words) |
 | Brainwave Entrainment refers to the brain's electrical response to rhythmic sensory stimulation, such as pulses of sound or light. |
| The principles of entrainment are universal, appearing in chemistry, neurology, biology, pharmacology, medicine, astronomy and more. |
| A clock is a simple example of a system responding to entrainment, but the same rules apply to more complex systems such as the brain. |

Entrainment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (282 words) |
| Entrainment is the process whereby two connected oscillating systems, having similar periods, fall into synchrony. |
| Christian Huygens, a notable physicist, coined the term entrainment after he noticed, in 1666, that two pendulum clocks had moved into the same swinging rhythm, and subsequent experiments duplicated this process. |
| In the realm of physics, entrainment appears to be related to resonance. |
