Meaning

Brainwave Patterns Alpha Theta describes a specific electrophysiological signature of the brain associated with states of deep relaxation, meditative focus, and enhanced creativity, often experienced during the transition between wakefulness and sleep.

Their co-occurrence is characteristic of an optimal neurophysiological state.
