B-wave

The B-wave is a pattern seen in brain activity, especially during sleep, that reflects the brain's process of recovering and restoring itself. It appears as a slow, rhythmic wave in brain signals, indicating periods when the brain is quieting down and preparing for deeper restorative functions. Think of it as a gentle "calm down" period during sleep, helping the brain reset and get ready for the next cycle of activity. Understanding B-waves helps researchers learn how sleep contributes to health, memory, and overall brain function.
