EEG rhythms are diagnosed electrical vibrations in the brain. Various degrees of wakefulness are accompanied by changes in the frequency spectrum of EEG signals. Depending on the amplitude, waveform, topography, frequency range and type of reaction, the rhythms of electroencephalography are distinguished. The main EEG rhythms are denoted by Greek letters: ἄλφ α (alpha); β ήτ α (beta); γάμμ α…
