Beta wave consciousness

Brain activity registered on an electroencephalogram indicates 13-26 cycles per second. Beta is linked to mental concentration, anxiety, some kinds of analysis, problem solving and attention, but also with the somewhat disordered state associated with highly active and variegated living at the emotional, physical and intellectual levels. Perception by the conscious mind is through all five senses. One researcher (William Condon) refers to six different brain wave frequencies, which include the highly active beta II (perhaps of to 40 cycles per second).
