    Research has indicated that it is possible to enhance creativity, health, intelligence, memory, and intuitive insights by altering the brain waves. Additionally, sound has been used to change the consciousness of an individual and thus unleash the power of the mind. Further, there are specific drum beat frequencies that when they resonate at a certain wave length, lead a person into a meditative state. Therefore, it is possible to use sound to positively change the brain wave frequencies with an…

    In 1951 a discovery in Nathaniel kleitmans sleep lab at the unviersity of Chicago changed how we would view the idea of sleeping and dreaming forever. Kleitman and William Dement would continue to discover that during sleep we pass repeatedly through five differnet stages every night. Each cycle lasts about ninety minutes and each stage of sleep is clearly distinguished from our prone awake states. Stage one is the light stage of sleep which lasts for about five to ten minutes. During this time…

    Q10. There are five different stages of sleep that a person goes through when they are sleeping. These stages are differentiated by the theta activity (slow wave sleep) that takes place in each stage. The first stage that takes place involved theta activity which means the firing of neurons in the neocortex has begun. During this level of sleep there is an EGG level of 3.5-7.5 HZ. The EEG level is the electrical activity that takes place within the brain, it is recorded through electrodes that…

    Sleep is a state of consciousness because when we are asleep, our brain remains active and working. With the invention of the electroencephalogram (EEG) researchers are better able to understand the brain activity of individuals as they prepare to sleep and after they fall asleep. When a person is awake and alert high frequency beta waves are seen in an EEG. When you are laying down, relaxed and become sleepy, low frequency alpha waves would be seen in an EEG. The different types of brain waves…

    Delta waves (0.5-4Hz) are a characteristic of deep sleep and are generally not present during meditation or relaxation. Theta waves (4-8Hz) are strongest in the frontal and middle parts of the brain during meditation and most likely show the relaxed attention that arises as we focus on our inner experiences. Frequent Theta waves are more likely to occur in highly experienced meditation practitioners. Alpha waves (8-13Hz) are present during relaxation, daydreaming and light meditation and…

    Epileptics often show unusual cortical brain activity that can be measured. Electroencephalography (EEG) has frequently been used to identify abnormal electrical signals in epileptics, however recently the use of MEG has been argued to show more accurate findings. Knake et al. (2006) compared whole head MEG and EEG (70 electrode) in detecting…

    Therefore, confirmatory testing is required. Video-electroencephalography (EEG) is the gold standard test for the diagnosis of PNES and should be performed in all patients in whom this diagnosis is suspected. 25-40% of patients evaluated in inpatient epilepsy monitoring units for intractable seizures are diagnosed with PNES (Ettinger). The most reliable predictors of psychogenic non-epileptic seizures include at least two normal electroencephalography studies in the face of at least two…
