⩥ Beta. Answer: ->14 HZ
-detected during wakefulness, enhanced during drowsiness, and
decreased in deeper sleep
-seen on barbiturates and benzodiazepines
⩥ Lambda waves. Answer: -NORMAL, awake
-sharp waves occurring in occipital region (o1/o2) during wakefulness
-visually scanning a picture in a lit room
-physiological, eyes OPEN
-saccadic eye movement
-4-6hz
⩥ Small sharp spikes / BETS. Answer: -occurs in stage 1/stage 2
-peaks at 30-60 years
-temporal region
-occurs sporadically and short duration
-NORMAL benign variant
,⩥ Wicket Spikes. Answer: -Single spike or 6-11 hz Mu like shape seen
in drowsiness and light sleep.
