They are the fastest of the brain wave frequencies and have been linked to higher processing tasks and cognitive functioning. Research has found that gamma waves play a role in various brain functions including attention, memory, and consciousness. For instance, they are involved in rapidly processing information from different brain areas, forming perceptions of our environment, and learning and memory tasks. They are also associated with peak concentration and high levels of cognitive functioning. However, much about gamma waves and their specific functions is still not fully understood, and research is ongoing.
