Alpha waves are EEG oscillations that > go up and down at a frequency around 10 Hz (10 times per second). They > dominate the EEG signal when we are awake with our eyes closed, and arise > from the spontaneous, synchronized activity of millions of neurons. Their > function is not well-understood, but they may reflect a relaxed mind with > nothing in particular to focus on and no particular task to do. When a > stimulus suddenly appears and is processed, neurons fall out of synchrony > with each other, the alpha rhythm is disrupted, and alpha waves get smaller > as a result. -- ☣ uǝlƃ ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com archives back to 2003: http://friam.471366.n2.nabble.com/ FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
