The intensity of the signals showcases as EEG activity and measured in microvolts (mV). (EEG) patterns that can be classified into two types of waves, beta and alpha. Beta waves are those associated with wakefulness and are the highest in frequency and lowest in amplitude, and also more desynchronous than other waves. Alpha waves are associated with the more relaxed condition.
