Theta Waves

Meaning

Theta waves are a specific type of brainwave oscillation characterized by a relatively slow frequency range, typically between 4 and 7 Hertz (Hz), and are primarily associated with states of deep relaxation, meditation, and the transition into sleep. They are prominent during the initial stages of sleep (N1 and N2) and are linked to processes of memory consolidation and emotional processing. In a waking state, their controlled presence can indicate a highly creative or deeply relaxed mental state.
