What is delta rhythm in EEG?
The delta rhythm—high-amplitude, low-frequency fluctuations—in the awake human EEG is almost exclusively associated with sleep, pathology, or the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) (Gaspard et al. 2013).
What do high delta waves mean?
An excess of delta waves when a person is awake may result in learning disabilities and ADHD, and make it extremely difficult to focus. It has been found that individuals with various types of brain injuries produce delta waves in waking hours, making it extremely difficult to perform conscious tasks.
What does a delta wave look like on EEG?
Delta waves are slow EEG waves that oscillate from about . 5 to 4 times per second. Delta waves tend to be large in amplitude. Delta waves are rarely seen in the healthy waking adult EEG but are prominent and normal during sleep, especially of infants, children, and young adults.
What is the frequency of delta rhythm?
DELTA (0.1 to 3.5 Hz)
The lowest frequencies are delta. These are less than 4 Hz and occur in deep sleep and in some abnormal processes. It is the dominant rhythm in infants up to one year of age and it is present in stages 3 and 4 of sleep.
