Hi everyone,
I am interested to see if I can use an M1 to induce flow states. What program do you think would work? And where should I place the coils?
Also, would using Theta while learning make sense?
How long should the “wash out” period be between testing programs?
I don’t think you can achieve a flow state using PEMF. Flow is not based on a certain brain wave frequency or entrainment to a frequency. Flow is an interactive state involving mental and maybe physical action on your part, and responding to immediate feedback you get from the activity.
The original research on flow was done by Mihaly Chikszentmihalyi. He has a book specifically on flow called Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience.
Perhaps “triggering” is a better word, instead of inducing, since flow is dynamic.
Mihaly Chikszentmihalyi literally wrote the book on flow, but a lot has happened since then.
