What is the delta frequency band?
0.5 - 3.5 Hz
What is the theta frequency band
3.5 - 7.5
What is the alpha frequency band?
8 - 13 Hz
What is the beta frequency band?
13.5 - 30 Hz
What is the gamma frequency band?
30 - 200 Hz
Which frequency band is found normally in deep sleep
Delta frequency
What frequency band do we most likely see the lighter sleep stages of stages 1 and 2
Theta
What region of the brain are the alpha frequency bands most often seen?
In the occipital region
When patient is relaxed awake, relaxed with eyes closed which frequency band is generally derived?
The Alpha ranges
Which frequencies are derived when the patient is in heavy concentration or when on benzodiazepines?
Beta waves
What is the conversion formula for frequency?
1/duration
What is the conversion formula for duration?
1/frequency
What is the unit of measurement for the frequency bands
The unit of measurement is the Hz (Hertz)
What is frequency in EEG?
Frequency is the number of wave cycles per second or Hertz (Hz)
What is “duration” in EEG?
Duration is the time that an activity or wave persists and it’s measured in seconds
