What are the 4 brain waves?

There are four main types of brain waves: alpha, beta, delta, and theta. Each one is associated with a different state of mind.

What are brain waves good for?

When your brain is producing these waves, it's responding to activities like meditation and rest that can reduce your stress levels and help you feel calmer. If you're able to produce alpha brain waves, you're probably able to tap into a state that can help you get some rest and relaxation.

What are the most powerful brain waves?

Gamma brain waves are the fastest brain waves produced inside your brain. Although they can be hard to measure accurately, they tend to measure above 35 Hz and can oscillate as fast as 100 Hz. Your brain tends to produce gamma waves when you're intensely focused or actively engaged in solving a problem.

What are normal brain waves?

Most waves of 8 Hz and higher frequencies are normal findings in the EEG of an awake adult. Waves with a frequency of 7 Hz or less often are classified as abnormal in awake adults, although they normally can be seen in children or in adults who are asleep.
