chromotherapy increases alpha brainwave power while keeping rhythm frequency stable
The alpha peak frequency (individual alpha peak frequency, IAPF) remained stable throughout chromotherapy sessions, indicating that PWL chromotherapy increases alpha power without shifting the dominant frequency.
What this means for you
Alpha brainwaves are linked to calm, relaxed alertness — the mental state where you feel clear-headed without being wired. When alpha power rises without disrupting your brain's natural rhythm, it suggests a deeper, more stable form of relaxation rather than a surface-level response. Many people associate this state with reduced mental tension and an easier time unwinding.
