What can you do to take advantage of this research? Read this article to find out! Brain waves are measured using an EEG, which stands for electroencephalograph. Everyone’s brain generates these waves. The EEG is simply a device that can display the waves, and their corresponding strengths. Normally – when a NON ADD person is focused or concentrating, the BETA waves are higher, and the THETA waves are lower. We know now from studying EEG results that ADD folks don’t achieve the right (high enough) level of the BETA brain waves. To understand this, lets look at the different types of waves.

The Theta wave is in the 5-8 hertz range, and is associated with light sleep and sometimes the REM dream state. Some illegal drugs raise the theta waves.
