How often do you visit the “Penthouse Suite” of your brain? This is how you can enjoy the view anytime you want.

Marc has a lovely way of describing the brain (and he shares it in his gamma video).
He asks you to picture an apartment building, with each floor holding a different brainwave state.
Delta sits in the basement, where the body rests and repairs during deep sleep.
Theta and alpha fill the next two floors with dreams, memory and calm.
Then comes the third floor. Beta.
That's where most of us spend our waking hours. Remembering the pharmacy pickup. Replaying a conversation from Tuesday. Wondering what to make for dinner. It's a useful floor, but stay there too long and it starts to feel crowded and loud.
And at the very top sits a penthouse most of us rarely visit.
It's called gamma.
