Note: gamma wave, not gamma particles. Gamma wave refers to an aspect of brain activity. Maybe I'm the only one who was confused by the title but I feel better knowing people aren't being irradiated for the experiment.
Yep: 'Gamma' is just a name given by convention to a frequency range of interest (here 30-40Hz; Gamma can be used to refer to frequencies from 30-100Hz, depending on the species and brain area being studied.)

Yeah, that threw me off as well. For anyone interested in actual brain lasers:
