What are the different brain waves that are measured in a qEEG brain map?
When it comes to understanding brainwaves, five main categories are measured in a qEEG brain map: Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Hi-Beta waves.
Delta waves are involved in deep sleep and dreaming, while Theta waves are associated with light sleep, healing, daydreaming, relaxation, and creativity. Alpha waves are responsible for the transitions between other brainwaves as well as meditation and awareness, while Beta waves are associated with focus, attention, and energy. Hi-Beta is associated with the fight or flight response and reaction time.
Understanding these different brainwave states can be an invaluable tool in helping to understand, diagnose, and treat many different types of mental health issues.
Understanding your personal brainwave patterns can also help you better manage stress, enhance concentration, and improve overall well-being.
So if you're looking to learn more about your own unique brainwave patterns, a qEEG brain map is a great place to start!
