Notes

Brain waves

Gamma waves occur when we are very focused and alert.

Beta waves occur when we are awake and aware.

Alpha waves occur when we are relaxed, zoning out, visualising.

Theta waves occur when we daydream, or meditate.

Delta waves occur when we sleep and are generally unconscious.
