The frequencies (30-100 Hz) are Gamma frequencies, which are associated with high-level cognitive functions, including attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. Gamma brainwaves are typically linked to states of focused mental processing and are thought to play a role in integrating information across different brain regions. Research¹ suggests that these frequencies are crucial for tasks that require advanced cognitive functions, which can be particularly challenging for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), who may experience difficulties with attention, sensory processing, and complex problem-solving.
Listening Recommendations:
- Time: 1:30 – 3:00 PM (Afternoon)
- Activity: Sensory activities or therapeutic exercises
- Objective: To enhance brain activity, stimulate cognitive processing, and support sensory integration. Engaging with Gamma frequencies during this time frame may help promote attentional focus and improve executive functioning in children with ASD.
