In this video, about what activities lead to anxious brainwave frequencies and mental noise plus some suggestions on how to stop it. #mentalhealthawareness #anxiety #neuroscience
Hi Stefanie! Would it be accurate to think of high beta as an "executive decision-making" brain wave (you mentioned activities requiring a great deal of focus and fast-paced, in the moment, decision-making, such as surgery, or emergencies of any kind) ? In which case anxiety and overwhelm are states that we might alleviate by taking some kind of action... Would it be accurate to say that this mismatch between outer circumstances (when we don't find ourselves in emergency-type environments) and inner hiper-allertness with no applied decision-making leads to anxiety and overwhelm? Thank you for your work!! I highly appreciate it!
I would say that because of the intense focus, there could be connections to executive decision making; however in terms of the profile of having excessive hibeta activity in the frontal areas, there is a lack of inhibitory and attentional control because we are measuring that during conditions where three is no task to perform. So I like the phrasing you used: “mismatch between outer circumstances (when we don't find ourselves in emergency-type environments) and inner hiper-allertness with no applied decision-making leads to anxiety and overwhelm? “. Yes- the mismatch of vigilance during calm, safe situations is where we can see a lot of overwhelm. Thank you for the insightful comment!!
Another excellent video. Thanks, Stefanie!
Thank you Michael! I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch and send words of encouragement :-)
Hi Stefanie, wondering that is our emotional state depends of the brain waves or the neurotransmitters. Which one is the end product of each others...
