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…

The collars use were neck loop transmitters and body loop transmitters and were 5% or less of the quail’s body mass. Some birds were released in pairs, while other birds were released alone. Some birds were also kept overnight and released in a different location within a 24-hour period. All quail died within 16 days of the study. Factors contributing to quail fatality were predation, stress, and poor habitat condition. Montezuma Quail rely on cover to escape from predators, and poor habitat…

We lose our consciousness as we enter to relax our brain and thus enter a deep sleep. However, what if we could be aware when we are unconscious? That is what lucid dreaming is. Lucid dreaming is a dream in which the dreamer is consciously aware that they are dreaming to which they may be able to have the ability to control certain aspects of the dream itself. This…

just random videos that have no connection to our lives. (“Facts About Dreaming”) Our brains are very active when we sleep, especially during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) stage, and dreams may occur because of this. REM, Rapid Eye Movement, was conceived by a graduate student at the University of Chicago, Eugene Aserinsky, and his professor Nathaniel Kleitman, in 1953 during sleep experiments. REM privation is where someone doesn’t get to dream. The consequences of REM privation were…
