BRAIN WAVES--award winner

BRAIN WAVES--award winner



Some waves are acoustic, some
Electromagnetic;
Some are engineered and some
Are just automatic.

But the waves emanating
From brain, what type are they?
Do they arise from within,
Or come from far away?

If the waves in our prayers
Can reach Him instantly,
Why can’t His, in form of waves
Come to us directly?

Scientists may scoff at it, but
What is telepathy?
I think it is through brain waves
That we have empathy.

It is known in medical science that brain waves, such as alpha, beta and theta type, are produced in brain and these are now-a-days routinely recorded as an EEG, electroencephalogram. Man and monkey have been experimentally made to execute, after training, mechanical tasks simply through “thought waves”. It could be argued as a valid concept that if brain can transmit waves, it can, too, receive them from outside, and even respond to them. Next few decades may unravel that possibility.
