Repetitive TMS for Alzheimer’s Disease Alters Brain Waves & Enhances Cognition (2024 Study)

Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is making waves in the field of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) research, offering a glimmer of hope for enhancing cognitive functions in patients. By targeting specific brain regions, rTMS has shown promising results in modulating neural activity and improving cognitive scores. This innovative therapy, coupled with real-time monitoring through electroencephalography (EEG), …

5 Types Of Brain Waves Frequencies: Gamma, Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta

by GLOOM

It is important to know that all humans display five different types of electrical patterns or “brain waves” across the cortex. The brain waves can be observed with an EEG (or an “electroencephalograph”) – a tool that allows researchers to note brain wave patterns. Each brain wave has a purpose and helps serve us in …

Delta Brain Waves: 0 Hz to 4 Hz

by GLOOM

Delta brain waves oscillate between 0 Hz and 4 Hz (cycles per second) and are regarded as the slowest brain waves that humans can produce. They are typically produced during the deep stages of sleep (stage 3 and stage 4) and are involved in regulating unconscious bodily processes such as heart beat regulation, kidney functioning, …
