==Delta Waves==
A delta wave is a high amplitude brain wave with a frequency of oscillation between 0.5–4 hertz. Delta waves, like other brain waves, are recorded with an electroencephalogram (EEG) and are usually associated with the deep stage 3 of NREM sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep (SWS), and aid in characterizing the depth of sleep.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_wave Delta Wave]</ref>

==Gamma Waves==
A gamma wave is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 100 Hz, though 40 Hz is typical.According to a popular theory, gamma waves may be implicated in creating the unity of conscious perception. <ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma_wave Gamma Wave]</ref>
