Alpha wave has nothing to do with X-rays, or with physics. They are a classification of "brain waves" as seen on EEGs; in the 7-13 Hz region they are only seen when the eyes of the subject are closed.

Alpha particles are in the domain of physics; not waves or rays, but the nuclei of helium atoms.

What is an alpha wave?

An alpha wave is a type of brainwave that typically occurs during relaxed wakefulness and is associated with a state of calmness and alertness. These waves are present in the frequency range of 8-12 Hz and can be measured using an electroencephalogram (EEG).

Is alpha wave or particle?

Alpha waves are a type of neural oscillation in the brain that occur at a frequency of 8-12 Hz. They are not particles but rather a characteristic of brain activity observed on electroencephalography (EEG) tests.


Does lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity mean stressed or relaxed?

Lots of alpha-theta brain wave activity typically indicates a relaxed or daydreaming state rather than a stressed one. Alpha waves are associated with a calm and relaxed mind, while theta waves are linked to a deeply relaxed or meditative state.


What is used to measure alpha wave patterns?

Electroencephalogram (EEG) is commonly used to measure alpha wave patterns in the brain. EEG records electrical activity via electrodes placed on the scalp, showing the brain's electrical patterns, including alpha waves which are associated with relaxed wakefulness.

Is an alpha a particle or a wave?

Beta is a particle. In beta- it is an electron and an electron antineutrino. In beta+ it is a positron and an electron neutrino.
