beta brain waves

WHAT ARE BRAINWAVES? All of our thoughts, emotions and behaviors are based on the communication between the neurons of our brain. Brainwaves are generated by synchronized electrical impulses from neuron masses that communicate with each other. Brainwaves are detected with sensors on the scalp. They are divided into bands to describe their functions (below), but they are better viewed as a continuous spectrum of consciousness; slow, high and functional, fast, subtle and complex. It is a practical analogy to regard brainwaves as musical notes: low-frequency waves are like a deep-going drum rhythm, while higher-frequency brain waves are more like a subtle flute. Like a symphony, the highest and lowest frequencies meet and unite with overtones. Our brainwaves change according to what we do and feel. When slower brain waves dominate, you may feel tired, slow, lazy, or dreamy. The highest frequencies are dominant when you feel connected or hyperactive. The following descriptions
