• EEG recordings has poor spatial resolution - the most critical limitation - and are most sensitive to a particular set of post-synaptic potentials.
• EEG recordings do not directly capture axonal action potentials.
• EEGs capture dendritic currents almost exclusively (as opposed to axonal currents) - but they also show a preference for activity on populations of parallel dendrites and transmitting currents in the same direction at the same time.
• EEG provides information with a large bias to select neuron types, and should be used carefully on statements regarding global brain activity.
• It is mathematically impossible to reconstruct a unique intracranial current source for a given EEG signal, as some currents produce potentials that cancel …show more content…

It also helps the student to develop interest in studies more than they would have ever learned while in other high-frequency brainwaves.

It has been noted that induced Alpha Waves enable the student to assimilate more information, with greater long-term retention. The brainwave indicates a relaxed state of mind, good for inspiration and the ability to learn fast. There is more understanding of the role of Theta Brainwaves in behavioural learning, because this state indicates a high state of mental concentration. The presence of Theta Brainwaves has been associated with increased receptivity for learning and decreased filtering by the left hemisphere.

How Brainwaves Affect Our Work and Relationships
Brainwaves play very vital roles in our work, relationships and every other aspect of our lives. Listening to brainwave music acts as a form of meditation, which has been found to help prepare the human brain for daily work, reduce the risk of illnesses, decrease stress levels and keep one in the right frame of mind at all …show more content…

However, anatomically speaking, they are remarkably different. Our physiology is wired such that the left-brain controls the right part of the body, while the right-brain controls the left part. For instance, when we see something from our left eye, the image is processed in the right part of the brain. If the right part of the brain is damaged for some reason, the left part of our body will be affected.

The understanding of the two hemispheres and how they perform was first studied in the 1960s. American psychologist and biologist Roger W. Sperry began his research in this field, and he discovered that a single human brain has very distinct ways of thinking, processing information, and functioning.

The right side of the brain, he discovered, had the potential to look at things holistically. The right side would consider the big picture, and process information in its entirety. The left side of the brain, on the other hand, broke information into tiny units, and analysed each of these units separately. It then pieced the information together to obtain a more logical and sequential
