Alpha Brainwaves
History of Alpha Brainwaves In 1908, Dr Hans Berger, an Austrian psychiatrist, discovered the existence of electrical waves in the brain. He called them alpha brainwaves because they were the first electrical waves discovered in the brain.

Surges of intuition, creative ideas and inspirational thoughts are more likely to come to people when they function at the alpha level. Going to the alpha level is vital for programming your mind.
