The human brain is a low-voltage electrical system.  Electrical impulses travel in different wave ranges.  These wave ranges can be associated with various states of mind.  In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, we interview Jeff Gignac on the anatomy of brainwaves and talk about how those waves might be a child using electrical external stimulation.  For many with ADHD, such exercises have produced a relief in symptoms.  While not documented, there is hope that such exercises over an extended period of time might adjust the makeup of the brain, which we understand is possible through the concept of neuroplasticity.  If you have ADHD, if you're interested in brainwaves, or if you are looking for relief from symptoms, this is a show you won't want to miss.  Attention Talk Radio is the leading site for self-help Internet radio shows focusing on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD), including managing symptoms of attention deficit disorder, adults with ADD, or a
