PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Alpha waves are seen in the electroencephalogram (EEG) during a normal wakeful state where the subject is quietly resting. Beta EEG are present when a person is alert/attentive and thinking actively. Theta rhythm (Stage 1) of sleep is present during the transition from wakefulness to sleep.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alpha waves are typically found in people who are awake but have their eyes closed and are relaxing or meditating. Theta waves: have a frequency range from three to eight Hz and an amplitude of 50 to 100 µV. Theta waves are associated with memory, emotions, and activity in the limbic system.

Detailed explanation-3: -When you first wake up in the morning your brain switches from delta waves, which occur in a deep sleep state, to theta waves, which occur during a sort of daydreamy state. The brain then moves to produce alpha waves when you are awake but are relaxed and not processing much information.

Detailed explanation-4: -Alpha Waves Are Associated With Relaxation and Sleep Alpha waves associated with a relaxed mental state depict a person who is relaxed but awake. Alpha waves are also associated with REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.
