Brainwave entrainment Brainwave Entrainment is any practice that aims to cause brainwave frequencies to fall into step with a periodic stimulus having a frequency corresponding to the intended brain-state (for example, to induce sleep), usually attempted with the use of specialized software. It purportedly depends upon a "frequency following" response on the assumption that the human brain has a tendency to change its dominant EEG frequency towards the frequency of a dominant external stimulus.[citation needed] Such a stimulus is often aural, as in the case of binaural or monaural beats and isochronic tones, or else visual, as with a dreamachine, a combination of the two with a mind machine, or even electromagnetic radiation. Hemispheric Synchronization, a potential and generally desired result of brainwave entrainment, refers to a state when the brainwave pattern of the right and left hemispheres become alike.

The Things You Would Have Said 269768 The Writer's Almanac Iso-Tones - Home Welcome to Literacyhead! E. E. Cummings "Among the most innovative of twentieth-century poets," according to Jenny Penberthy in the Dictionary of Literary Biography, E. E. Cummings experimented with poetic form and language to create a distinct personal style. Cummings decided to become a poet when he was still a child. After graduating from Harvard, Cummings spent a month working for a mail order book dealer. Upon leaving the army in January of 1919, Cummings resumed his affair with Elaine Thayer, the wife of his friend Schofield Thayer. The early twenties were an extremely productive time for Cummings. Cummings' first collection of poems, Tulips and Chimneys, appeared in 1923. The original manuscript for Tulips and Chimneys was cut down by the publisher. It was with these collections of the 1920s that Cummings established his reputation as an avant-garde poet conducting daring experiments with language. Other critics focused on the subjects of Cummings' poetry. In 1931 Cummings traveled to the Soviet Union.
