When you drop a small stone
in water, you see waves. Similarly our heart and our brain have wave
patterns. The wave pattern of the heart is measured by ECG (electro
cardiograph). The brain waves are measured by EEG (electro
encephalograph).
Using the brain wave studies, scientists have discovered that our brain waves are of four types.
The brain waves also have peaks that are similar to the peaks we see in water waves. The number of times the peak appears in one second is called "cycles per second ". For example, the electricity in India is of 50 cycles per second.

This brain wave indicates that your conscious mind is in control. It indicates a mental state of logical thought, analysis, and action. You are alert and awake talking, speaking, doing, solving problems, etc.
This brain wave indicates relaxation and meditation. It is a state of relaxed alertness good for inspiration, learning facts fast.
Deep meditation. This is associated with life-like imagination. This is best for suggestibility and inspiration. This brain wave is dominant in children of age 2 to 5.
Deep dreamless sleep. Deep relaxation.
Left brain and right brain working together
Usually the left brain and the right brain waves are independent.
They reach peaks independent of each other. During meditation and
deep relaxation, the left brain waves and the right brain waves
happen together.
For both, the peaks are reached together. This is
called synchronization. Scientists now believe that synchronization
makes much greater mind power available. This is associated with
learning large amounts of information very quickly as well as with
creativity. Brain self-control
Scientists had long believed that brain activity such as brain waves and secretion of brain chemicals were beyond conscious control. But, experiments on Swami Rama of the Himalayas and on biofeedback have now changed that belief. Now it is proven that some people can control their brain waves, etc.
