Where can one find a brain wave?
Your brain is made up of billions of brain cells called neurons, which use electricity to communicate with each other. The combination of millions of neurons sending signals at once produces an enormous amount of electrical activity in the brain, which can be detected using sensitive medical equipment (such as an EEG), measuring electricity levels over areas of the scalp. The combination of electrical activity of the brain is commonly called a BrainWave pattern, because of its cyclic, "wave-like" nature.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is the light wave measured as?
Energy.
What is the distance of a wave measured by?
The answer depends on what kind of wave it is: a mechanical wave, or an electromagnetic wave with a long or short wavelength.
What neural activity is measured by electroencephalography?
In reading and interpreting brain wave patterns, a neurologist or other physician will evaluate the type of brain waves and the symmetry, location, and consistency of brain wave patterns.
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 measured by an EEG?
EEG is Electroencephalograph. In plain English - Electrical Brain wave measurer. It measures electric currents in the brain. There are various currents associated with brain activity, with Greek letter names. eg. Alpha Waves.
Which diagnostic procedure is the process of recording brain wave activity?
eeg
A machine designed to record the brain wave patterns produced by electrical activity of the surface of the brain is called?
Electrocardiograph technician

Term for brain activity recorded on encephalogram when person in deep dreamless sleep?
Delta Wave
Is the heat of a wave measured from the top of one crest to the top of another?
No, the heat of a wave is measured by using, for example, a thermometer to gauge temperature. The distance from crest to crest is wavelength.
What is the frequency of a wave measured by?
The frequency of a wave is measured in Hertz.
What effect on the brain wave pattern does hyperventilation have?
voluntary hyperventilation can cause a decrease in brain wave activity by reducing blood flow to the brain. It will typically cause a spike on an EEG recording of approximately 3Hz and has been studied with EEG tests when provoking seizures
How is a wave measured?
by wavelength (distance from the very top of one wave to the top of the wave behind it)
What is the duration of a P wave?
The P wave refers to the electrocardiographic representation of electrical activation of the atrial myocardium. It can be measured using an electrocardiogram.
