Gamma Waves

Gamma waves are a pattern of neural oscillation that has a frequency of typically 40 Hz. Gamma waves are recognized as an important type of neural oscillation in that among popular theories the main belief posits that gamma waves play a major role in creation of unity in conscious experience. Which means that gamma waves may be the thing that our consciousness is constructed out of. Gamma waves do play a major role in conscious attention. Study shows that there is a relation between Tibetan Buddhist transcendental meditation, and gamma waves. Which could suggest that gamma waves play an important role in religious and spiritual experiences. Though research is ongoing, and perhaps as technology advances, and our fundamental understanding of the human brain grows we will eventually be able to explain gamma waves relation to the brain.
