1 How do the brain waves correlate with the different stages of 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.
What stage of sleep do sleep spindles occur?
Sleep spindles occur during stages 2 of sleep, they are brief bursts of frequency in our brain wave patterns
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.
Do different thoughts affect brain wave patterns?
Yes they do.
Is the brain constantly active whether a person is asleep or awake.?

Delta
What brain wave predominates in stage 4 sleep?
