Four Transitions Of Brain Waves

The brain moves through four transitions of brain frequencies depending on where and what the body is doing. In 1929 Hans Berger used an EEG machine to measure the brains frequency waves and devised the four transitions the brain experiences. When the body is fully awake and alert the brain transmits waves of 14 cycles per second (cps) known as the Beta State but when in a state of relaxation the cps waves alter to 7-14 cps creating the altered and hypnotic phase known as the Alpha State. We experience this Alpha State as we fall to sleep and the next state is when the brain waves reduce further to 4-7cps bringing us to an even more relaxed state known as the Theta State. As the body enters sleep mode the brain reduces it frequency waves to
