Brain Talk Series Event: This is Your Brain on Chocolate! The Amazing Benefits of This Delicious Treat, November 9th, 2018.

Brain Talk Series Event:

You know you want it…  A FREE event where you learn the fascinating science of how chocolate affects your brain, while you savor some of the finest chocolate products this world has to offer! And you’re in luck because you’re invited!

We’ve collaborated with our friends at Chocovivo LA and took brain scans of their legendary chocolatiers before and after they consumed their products, to see the changes chocolate makes to EEG (electrical brainwaves). But we didn’t just do this with regular chocolate, we tested them on CBD infused chocolate as well!

Results of Brain Talk Series Event

We measured QEEG brain activity before and after consuming chocolate and CBD+chocolate. The results were fascinating - showing distinct patterns for each condition:

QEEG Brain Mapping with Chocolate and CBD
Full research poster: This is Your Brain on Chocolate - QEEG Brain Mapping with Chocolate and CBD

Key Findings:

  • Chocolate alone showed increased focus and awareness, with enhanced right hemisphere Alpha and posterior Beta activity
  • CBD + Chocolate showed significant increases in frontal and posterior Alpha (relaxation) plus posterior central Beta (sensory awareness)
  • Synergistic effect: The combination produced an increase in medium frequency Beta waves suggesting better awareness and management of attention resources
Study results showing chocolate reduced Delta EEG and Beta EEG
Individual participant results: Chocolate reduced Delta EEG (increased alertness) and reduced fast Beta EEG (increased calm)
