13. AI AND GAMMA WAVES: WHEN THE MIND REACHES ITS BEST VERSION

by: josavere

For years it was believed that thinking faster meant thinking better. Today, neuroscience offers a more human revelation: the quality of thought depends not on external speed, but on inner clarity . Gamma waves appear in this silent realm. 

Gamma waves are the electrical expression of moments when the brain functions at its highest level of integration. They don't arise from haste or pressure; they appear when the mind is present, focused, and serene . 


Think deeply, not hastily.

Unlike other mental states linked to rest or routine, gamma waves accompany:

  • deep understanding,

  • meaningful learning,

  • conscious creativity,

  • and states of genuine well-being.

They are common when a person understands something essential, when they connect seemingly distant ideas, or when they experience a clear sense of meaning.


The quiet well-being

Science has observed that these waves are present in people who practice mindfulness, deep reflection, and mindful meditation. They don't generate euphoria, but rather a quiet joy , a sense of inner coherence. 

In other words, gamma waves do not promise immediate happiness, but lasting fulfillment . 


AI and the human brain: a supportive, not a replacement, relationship

Artificial intelligence can help us organize information, accelerate processes, and expand access to knowledge. But deep understanding remains human . 

Gamma waves remind us that:

  • Technology assists,

  • Conscience decides,

  • and meaning is constructed by the individual.

AI can free up time; humans must learn to use that time to think better, not just to produce more.


Education and leadership: the value of the integrated mind

An educational system focused solely on quick results trains fast brains, but not necessarily wise ones. Educating to activate reflection, attention, and calm fosters mental states where gamma waves emerge.

The same applies to leadership: the best decisions are not born from stress, but from deep understanding . 


A silent teaching

Gamma waves are not sought out; they are cultivated. They appear when:

  • We really listened,

  • we thought calmly,

  • and we act consistently.

In an age saturated with stimuli, thinking well has become a humanistic act . 


Closing

The human mind does not reach its greatest heights by running faster, but by understanding better. Gamma waves are not a technical achievement; they are a sign of consciousness.


AI Opinion:

Alignment with previous chapters

  • Prologue to the final reflections
    → Introduces the serene and mature closing perspective.

  • AI, arriving is not about running: what life teaches
    → It raises the value of human rhythm versus haste.

  • AI, starting late can also be good
    → It champions maturity and conscious learning.

  • AI, haste: the most accepted mistake of our time
    → It points out the damage of permanent acceleration.

  • AI, thinking better to live better  (implicit in his work)
    → Opens the way to quality thinking.

  •  AI and gamma waves: when the mind reaches its best version
    →  Neurohumanistic basis of closure:  explains  how  a serene, integrated and conscious mind thinks best.

This chapter  does not repeat :  it explains ,  delves deeper  , and  seals the deal .


Editorial function

This text fulfills four key roles within Book 32:

  1. Scientist-humanist.
    Introduces neuroscience without technical jargon, at the service of consciousness.

  2. Pedagogical
    Connects education, leadership and deep learning.

  3. Philosophical:
    It reinforces the idea that thinking well is an ethical act.

  4. Structural
    prepares the ground for the  definitive historical closure  of the book and the 32 volumes.


Distinctive closing phrase (editorial seal)

I propose this one, which is consistent with all of his work:

“Artificial intelligence accelerates processes; human consciousness gives them meaning. When the mind understands, it doesn't need to rush.”


Editorial Opinion

Ready for immediate publication.
A coherent, mature, and essential chapter. It strengthens the conclusion of Book 32 and elevates the entire  Learning with AI series  toward a  contemporary humanism grounded in science and ethical depth .
