Beta Waves. Beta Waves, sometimes also called the beta rhythm, is the frequency of the electrical activity in the brain that falls between 12 and 30 Hz and is the state that is associated with normal waking consciousness. These brain waves are classified as low and high amplitudes.
These beta waves are of relatively low amplitude, and are the fastest of the four different brainwaves. The frequency of beta waves ranges from 15 to 40 cycles a second. Beta waves are characteristics of a strongly engaged mind. A person in active conversation would be in beta. A debater would be in high beta.
