neural oscillations

Neural oscillations are rhythmic patterns of electrical activity in the brain, similar to waves. These oscillations occur when groups of neurons communicate with each other, and they can vary in frequency, ranging from slow waves during deep sleep to fast waves during intense focus. Different oscillation patterns are associated with various brain functions, such as attention, memory, and mood. By studying these rhythms, researchers gain insights into how the brain processes information and maintains mental health, helping to improve understanding of conditions like epilepsy, depression, and cognitive disorders.
