What are the benefits of alpha brain waves?
Alpha brain waves (8–13 Hz) are linked with relaxed, alert focus: the state of calm clarity behind good decisions, creative ideas and flow. When people learn to produce more Alpha, research and trainee reports point to lower anxiety, more creativity, better mood, sharper thinking and steadier performance under pressure. Biocybernaut’s published studies measured these changes after seven days of Alpha brain wave training.
- Creativity: scores up 50% on average in research scientists
- Intelligence: +11.7 IQ points on average, still there at 12 months
- Emotional intelligence: +15.8 EQ points on average, peer-reviewed
- Anxiety: lower after training, and lower still at 6 and 12 months
The benefits, one by one
- Less anxietyAlpha quiets the stress-driven Beta activity behind worry. Anxiety fell after training and kept falling for a year.
- More creativityScientists in a published study raised their creativity scores by 50% on average.
- Higher IQKaufman test scores rose 11.7 points on average, and the gain held at 12 months.
- Higher emotional intelligenceEQ rose 15.8 points on average in peer-reviewed research.
- Better focusAttention that holds without forcing, because the background noise is lower.
- Faster, clearer decisionsLess looping, more clarity on what you already know.
- Peak performance and flowAlpha is the signature of the zone athletes and executives describe.
- More joyCalm and joy your brain can produce on its own, without the next win.
- Less reactivitySpace between trigger and response, so you choose instead of react.
- A younger brain rhythmTraining restores Alpha patterns that usually fade with age.
- Lighter moodPeople describe heavy moods lifting as the brain finds its way back to Alpha.
- Fear that loosens its gripFeel the fear, then watch it dissolve as the old pattern lets go.
Practical Benefits Of Alpha Brain Wave Training
Scientific studies have confirmed that just 7 days of Biocybernaut’s unique Alpha One Brain Wave Training produces the following benefits for people who do this training ( Trainees )
-
50% increase in creativity (average of research scientists who did the Alpha One Training)
-
Improving relationships with friends, family and intimate partners
People use Biocybernaut Alpha brain wave training for:
-
Letting go of old emotional hurts*
*Not everyone receives these benefits, but these are results that past trainees have experienced. Our program is self-educated.
“As a journal Editor, I receive hundreds of studies every week. It is rare for a study to show personality changes, and if it does, it shows changes for one or two measures for a segment of the population. These are baby steps. When I saw the Biocybernaut data showing changes in all participants’ measures, I got excited. This is not a baby step, and this is an elephant step.”

More Creativity: Think Smarter Higher IQ
Research has shown that the Biocybernaut Alpha One feedback training increased intelligence as measured by a sophisticated IQ test: The Kaufman Adolescent and Adult Intelligence Test. IQ increases up to 49 percentile points were seen, and the average increase of all the trainees was 11.7 points. (Proceedings, 8th Annual Winter Conference on EEG, sponsored by FutureHealth, Palm Springs, CA, February 4-8, 2000).
Ultimate Peak Performance
Two 12-man teams of US Army Green Berets did the Biocybernaut Alpha One training on their secret Army base as a part of the Trojan Warrior project within the US Army. The Green Berets took personality tests before and after their Biocybernaut Alpha, One training, and many mission-related dimensions of personality were measured. Results showed that Biocybernaut Alpha Feedback training improved important and mission-related dimensions of overall personality. The detailed report can be seen below (Learn More). After all of the Green, Berets had been trained, and the Biocybernaut technology was left on their secret Army base for almost three months. Each week, the elite soldiers would have one “voluntary day” during which they could do anything they wanted: play ball, swim, go to the movies, go on a date, sleep in, or go back for an Alpha Tune-Up with the Biocybernaut technology. Two-thirds of the soldiers chose to go back for more Alpha Feedback training, feeling extremely helpful for their mission.
Reduce Transient And Chronic Anxiety
Anxiety is usually understood as having a short-term or transient component, called State Anxiety, and a longer-term component called Chronic or Trait Anxiety. Both types of Anxiety are dramatically reduced by Biocybernaut Alpha Brain wave training.
Improving Personality
Biocybernaut training has been shown to reduce many negative personality dimensions measured by the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI) and other commonly used personality tests. Your personality is a function of your brain waves, so when you learn how to improve your brain waves to have more Alpha with your Biocybernaut Alpha training, you will find that you have an improved personality, with less anxiety, less anger, less hostility and more energy, more vigor, more friendliness, more happiness and more clarity of thinking.
Common questions
What do alpha brain waves do?
Alpha waves are the brain’s idle-but-alert rhythm. They rise when you relax with your eyes closed, in meditation and in flow, and they help quiet the stress-driven Beta activity behind worry and rumination.
Can you increase alpha brain waves?
Yes. Meditation, breathing and rest can raise Alpha briefly. Neurofeedback is the most direct way to train it, because you get real-time information about your Alpha and learn to produce it on purpose.
How fast do the benefits appear?
Most trainees notice changes during the seven days of training. In the research, several benefits kept growing for 12 months and more afterward.
Are the benefits permanent?
Training teaches a skill your brain keeps using. Graduates don’t need a daily practice to keep the results, though many come back for advanced training or a short tune-up.
