Alpha Waves - Page 1 of 2
Brainwaves are divided into four main categories,
namely Alpha, Beta, Delta, and Theta waves:
Alpha - (7.5 - 13 Hz)
Relaxed
but aware (meditation) or hypnogogic state
Beta - (13 - 40 Hz)
Normal focused awareness. Associated with conversation, complex tasks,
and problem solving. During a day an individual experiences all the brainwave patterns; however, Beta is the predominant pattern
Delta
- (0.5 - 3 Hz)
Deep sleep / unconsciousness
Theta - (3.5 - 7.5 Hz)
Deep relaxation, light sleep. Associated with deep meditative states,
and 'flashes of inspiration'
