Definition: A delta wave is a type of high amplitude brain wave found in humans. Delta waves have a frequency from one to four hertz and are measured using an electroencephalogram (EEG). These brain waves are thought to emerge from the thalamus and are generally associated with slow-wave sleep (during stages three and four of the stages of sleep.
The frequency range of Theta waves is typically between 5 and 8 cycles per second. We experience Delta waves when we are in deep dreamless sleep. Our brain frequency in this state is very slow and of the greatest amplitude.The frequency range is usually somewhere between 1.5 to 4 cycles per second.
