That is the thing of like... You didn't notice you were using nouns and verbs all the time.

Okay, so I'll do tempo first.

Okay.

If you think about all the rhythms that you have in your body, in some sense, like if there's a tempo on the outside world...

There has to, in some sense, be like tempo detectors inside you.

So it's basically like if I'm snapping and we were managed to look at EEG of your brain, we would see that your brain is responding to each of these things in two ways.

First of all, like the lead up, like your brain is expecting the next tap and that's like in the beta range.

It goes...

like a crescendo up to the tap.

And so that if I left one out, your brain is still going to have the crescendo up to it, but then it doesn't have the second thing.

The second thing that happens is every time I snap, your brain goes after the, you know, at the moment of the snap and afterward, it does something else.

I think maybe in the gamma range.

And so if I left one out, we know that you're anticipating it because you have beta leading up to it, but there's no response at the gamma frequency.

So those frequency bands, delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma, those are terms that scientists use.

And as you're listening to a tempo, it's like your delta waves will synchronize with that pulsing.

The beta in this example was being used, it's much faster, but it's being used in a sense to help the brain coordinate with

The delta timing, in a sense.

If we looked at just your delta rhythms, like a slower tempo is going to entrain the slower delta rhythm generators that you have.

And that slower delta set of rhythm generators end up, just like if you have slow waves on the ocean and like...

like faster waves kind of like ride on top of the slow waves in that sense or even buoys on top of the slow waves that happens in the brain too so that your slow waves will entrain with that slow rhythm and everything else becomes almost like yeah falls into slots so
