Brainwaves are rhythmic electrical impulses generated by neural communication, ranging from 0.1 to over 100 Hz. They are categorized by frequency, reflecting different states of consciousness and mental activity.
Through neurofeedback therapy, individuals can learn to alter their brain's electrical activity to improve mental performance or treat disorders. brainwave
Associated with high-level cognitive processing, peak performance, and alertness. or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
Healthy brain activity typically shows a sloping curve, with more power in lower frequencies and less in higher frequencies. brainwave
Brainwaves are recorded using electroencephalography (EEG) , where sensors measure the voltage fluctuations caused by ionic current flows within neurons.
Represents a state of relaxed alertness or calm, "idle" brain activity.
Occurs during light sleep, deep meditation, or rapid eye movement (REM) sleep.
