'''Alpha waves''' are [[Electromagnetic radiation|electromagnetic]] oscillations in the frequency range of 8–12 [[Hertz|Hz]] arising from ''synchronous'' and ''coherent'' (''in phase'' / ''constructive'') electrical activity of [[Human thalamus|thalamic]] pacemaker cells in humans(contracted; show full)
Similar to this relaxed-state thinking, some major companies, such as Martin Marietta and Xerox, are hoping to facilitate creative thinking in their employees through biofeedback use.

There are other uses of biofeedback training beyond therapy. Defense Department researchers are exploring biofeedback as a way of getting captured soldiers to create alpha waves, potentially 
messing upfoiling enemy lie detectors. And biofeedback training has been receiving attention as a way of monitoring attention. It has been theorized that teaching machines could use biofeedback as a way of monitoring childrens' attention, with the appearance of alpha waves signaling a lapse of attention.<ref> Time.
