Brain Waves: Difference between revisions

At the root of all our thoughts, emotions and behaviours is the communication between [[Neurons]] within our [[Brain]]s called [[Brain Waves]]. Brain waves are produced by synchronised electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other.

==Frequency response==

In response to input, a neuron or neuronal ensemble may change the frequency at which it oscillates, thus changing the rate at which it spikes. Often, a neuron's firing rate depends on the summed activity it receives. Frequency changes are also commonly observed in central pattern generators and directly relate to the speed of motor activities, such as step frequency in walking. However, changes in relative oscillation frequency between different brain areas is not so common because the frequency of oscillatory activity is often related to the time delays between brain areas.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neural_oscillation Neural Oscillation]</ref>
