Theta Waves

Theta waves are a type of brain activity with a frequency between 4 and 8 Hertz, often associated with light sleep, relaxation, and states of daydreaming or deep focus. They occur during periods when the brain is in a restful yet alert state, such as during meditation, creative thinking, or shortly before falling asleep. Recognizing theta waves helps scientists understand different mental states and how the brain transitions between wakefulness and sleep, contributing to insights into relaxation, learning, and memory processes.
