Brain Signals & Frequencies: Is Beta Wave Real?

AI Thread Summary
The brain emits electromagnetic waves due to its electrical activity, which includes various frequencies known as brain waves, such as beta waves. Different brain activities, like reading or watching, correlate with specific types of emissions in terms of amplitude and frequency. Research suggests a significant relationship between these brain wave patterns and cognitive functions. There is a wealth of information available online regarding brain waves and their implications. A simple search for "brain waves" can provide further insights into this topic.

does the brain send out signals or frequencies. I believe i recall hearing about something like beta waves perhaps it was. Someone know of this?

The electric activity of the brain does cause the emissions of electrogmagnetic waves. I think there is even a correlation between certain brain activities (reading, watching, etc) and certain types of emissions (amplitute, frequency etc). There should be a lot of info of this online. Just google "brain waves"
