Delta Waves (0.5 to 4 Hz):
These are the slowest brain waves and occur during deep, dreamless sleep.
Delta waves help with physical healing, restoring the body, and regulating unconscious processes like heart rate and digestion.
Theta Waves (4 to 8 Hz):
Theta waves are slower than alpha waves but faster than delta waves.
They are linked to creativity, intuition, meditation, and light sleep, especially REM sleep (dreaming).When awake, theta waves can enhance creativity and problem-solving, making them ideal for artists or anyone seeking innovative ideas.
Alpha Waves (8 to 12 Hz):
Alpha waves occur when you’re awake but in a relaxed, calm state, such as during light meditation. They promote relaxation, mental coordination, and stress reduction while balancing the conscious and subconscious mind.
Beta Waves (12 to 30 Hz):
Beta waves are dominant when you’re actively thinking, focusing, or solving problems. These waves are necessary for cognitive tasks but can also be linked to stress and anxiety when they become too dominant.
Gamma Waves (30 to 100 Hz):
Gamma waves are the fastest and are involved in higher-level cognitive functioning like learning, problem-solving, and heightened consciousness.
They help integrate information across different areas of the brain, contributing to peak mental performance.
