Alpha waves :)
When awake, you typically exhibit beta brain waves, which are associated with focused attention, alertness, and cognitive processing. These brain waves have a higher frequency compared to other states such as relaxation or deep sleep.
Brain waves change throughout the stages of sleep. During deep NREM sleep, slow-wave brain waves predominate. REM sleep is characterized by rapid and desynchronized brain waves similar to wakefulness. These changes in brain wave activity help regulate sleep cycles and promote essential functions like memory consolidation and restoration.
Nothing. It is the first letter in the Greek Alphabet. It is correct that alpha is the first letter in the Greek Alphabet. For some reason, people doing research on sleep have defined the activity of the alert, awake brain as "beta waves". Then when in a relaxed or dreaming state, the brain produces "alpha waves". Deeper sleep is characterized by theta waves, and the deepest sleep produces delta waves. So from this perspective, beta comes before alpha. But be ready to explain, because people will think you are wrong.
The brain waves that characterize relaxed wakefulness are alpha waves. These waves are associated with a state of wakeful relaxation, such as when lying on a beach or resting after a meal, and are typically present when the mind is calm and alert.
Yes, a person in a coma may still exhibit brain waves, although they are often different from those seen in a person who is awake. The brain may show patterns such as slow delta waves or burst suppression activity while in a coma. This brain activity can be monitored using an electroencephalogram (EEG).

During slow-wave sleep, the brain activity of a person is characterized by synchronized, slow brain waves, while awake states are characterized by more desynchronized and faster brain waves associated with active cognitive processes. In slow-wave sleep, the brain shows reduced activity in regions responsible for higher cognitive functions like reasoning and decision-making, unlike during wakefulness when these regions are highly active.
Alpha Waves (8-13 per second): Moderately fast, high voltage waves, recorded when an individual is awake, eyes closed and is in relaxed non attentive state. Beta Waves (More than 13 per second): Comparatively faster, low voltage waves recorded when an individual is awake, eyes open, and is in an active or attentive state. http:/www.omcounselling.com/meditation.html so no. beta waves are recorded when an individual is awake and ACTIVE
"Theta waves" are irregular, though common in children, theta waves are uncommon in awake adults...but may appear when concentrating. ~jm~ A&P 201
In a crossword puzzle, "brain waves" are "ideas."
Your brain does not send shock waves to your muscles.
