I’ve seen that word thrown around in movies and media but I have bearing of how that fits in with my understanding of the brain. I’m no biologist, but I do have a BA in Computer science so my understanding is that the brain is basically a meat computer with interconnected specialized modules. When ever I hear in media about reading, transmitting, transferring, etc.. brainwaves I have no idea what they’re even referring to. What are “brainwaves”, are they measurement? Are they measuring activity? If so then what the hell are alpha/beta waves?
In: 4
Brainwaves are electrical signals produced by the brain
Alpha waves are associated with relaxed states, while beta waves are linked to focused and alert states
It’s fascinating how our meat computers work, isn’t it?
