Many people said my English is awful, but whatsoever...I have question to ask.

What is exactly brainwave? How is it measured? I just read an article about a brainwave machine which it said can tune one's brainwave to certain frequency at which it said that one's brain is perfect for doing certain things, such as learning with the frequency of one's brainwave between 14Hz - 30Hz. My questions here are:

1. Can one's brainwave be tuned by feeding one ear with a steady tone of 500Hz and the other ear a steady tone of 510Hz? It said this way 10Hz is perceived by the brain and is a very effective stimulus for brainwave entrainment. Sounds ridiculous to me.

2. If it's true that the frequency of one's brainwave is between 14Hz - 30Hz when one is highly alert and focused, then vice versa? I mean is the frequency of brainwave the only indicator for brain state? How about the intensity of brainwave? How about other factors such as chemical environment of the brain?

There're many learning enhancing or brain manipulating products on the market, I'm just very skeptical about their factual effects. What are you thinking about this kind of products?

apologize for my bad grammar. []

Brainwaves are the electrical activity in the brain which are measured with a device called an electroenchephalograph.

Here is a wikipedia page on this subject:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binaural_beats
There is an audio file of 10Hz binaural beats downloadable from the wikipedia page above.
 WARNING:-
"Those meeting any of the following criteria/conditions should not use (listen to) binaural beats:
epileptics
pregnant women
people susceptible to seizures
pacemaker users
photosensitive people.  
People under the age of 18 or under the influence of medication or drugs should consult a physician before using binaural beats.

Binaural beats should not be used while driving or operating machinery.

Before using binaural beats, it is advised that one be examined by a physician for possible epilepsy or any medical condition that may contribute to seizures. Although there is no known and/or documented case of binaural beats causing detrimental or negative effects, including seizures, it is always recommended to first consult a physician.

Examples (audio files) :-
Binbeat sample.ogg (244 KB): 30 seconds of steady 10 Hz binaural beats with background pink noise.

Binbeats2.ogg (4 MB): Frequency starts at 20 Hz, falls to 7.83 Hz in 10 minutes, stays constant for 15 minutes and rises back to 16 Hz in 5 minutes. "

No need to apologise, your english is excellent.

Quantum Theory of Consciousness:

Two views of the consciousness.

1.Consciousness is real but nonphyslcal.
2.Consciousness is connected to physical reality .
====================  
1. Descartes said: “ I think, therefore I am “
2. Buddhist monks said: "I think not, therefore I am"
=======================
The man acts: 1) usually under logic program,
              2) sometimes on intuition (unconsciousness).
===========================
Dualism.
=============  =======  =============  
Brain of a man approximately consists of sixteen milliards neurons.
 All of them form the system that manages human body.
That is why, it is of no wonder, that with the work of all the
 sixteen milliards neutrons of brain, a man cannot catch a single impulse of
Electron, Quantum of light, his God:
(mass of electron is equal 10^-31 kg., charge of electron is equal 10^-19 k.)
Quantum of light, Spiritual particle, which had created us, turned out to be under control
 of the material existence. However, the spiritual particle aspires to establish its supremacy
over material nature. And the possibilities to reign over material nature are limited.
 The expansion of the possibilities of the development of spiritual particle is connected
 with the creation of specific (vacuum) conditions. These conditions are reached
 as a result of constant religious practice.
To perceive the universe, to perceive the spiritual essence, it is necessary
 for the man to take possession of religious practice.
PRACTICE. THE GENERAL PRINCIPLES.
We pray the GOD and we do not realize that HE is inside us.
Each of us carries in himself the SPIRITUAL PARTICLE
(QUANTUM OF LIGHT - AN ELECTRON).
But we do not realize that HE is inside us.
Behind the habitual forces of nature there is one force hidden - a spiritual one (h - e).
But ITS action is almost completely disguised with the other forces
(mechanical, electromagnetic, nuclear, chemical and others),
 therefore it remains unnoticed in an ordinary processes.
But God never operates outside of natural principles.
There are the processes in which He reveals himself.
Therefore, His disclosing is a technical question.
How can we learn it?
For this purpose it is necessary to create the following effects in our computer-brain:
A). Nonlinear effect
B). Superconducting effect
C). Holographic effect
D). Vacuum effect.
Nobody, except us, can make this technical work.
Only we (by the constant, thin, internal practice) can create conditions for these effects.
This practice has called "a Religious practice".
In this lies an essence of Religion - to establish the communication of a Human being with his Divine origin.    
* * *
Our computer-brain works on a dualistic basis.
In a usual daily life all we do is done logically, under an influence of our feelings.
On the other hand, in a religious practice we learn to perceive and to operate:
1) Without the participation of the sense organs.
2) Without the participation of the logic mental processes.
When these conditions will be created, then the opportunity to operate will be given
 to a QUANTUM OF LIGHT (AN ELECTRON),  to OUR DIVINE ESSENCE.
We will acquire new forces, new abilities.
Once again.
An electron's mass is 10^-28gr . The size is 10^-13sm. A charge is 10^-19k .
With these characteristics it is hard for IT to appear.
Therefore it is clear, why we don't know IT in our ordinary life.
ITS cognition is achieved by a very hard, thin and laborious work.
This work demands of a person to be devoted to it.
===========================  
On the question:
What inhale the Life in formulas and equations ?
What must be present in a body to make it alive ?
The answer is:
Soul. Quantum of Light.
Because, from all particles, only and only the quantum of light is a privileged particle.
=========================
Best wishes.
