Beta Brainwaves

Of the 4 brainwave states, Beta brainwaves own the highest frequency,13-40 cycles per second. Beta brainwaves are associated with normal waking consciousness and a heightened state of alertness, logic and critical reasoning. While beta brainwaves are important for effective functioning throughout the day, they also can translate into stress, anxiety and restlessness.

Low amplitude beta waves with multiple and varying frequencies are often associated with active, busy, or anxious thinking and active concentration.

Here are the features related to Beta Brainwaves:

a) Produced by thinking mind and conscious thought process. Most common brainwave pattern.
b) Concentration, logic, reasoning, alertness and critical thinking.
c) Higher levels of beta may result in feelings of anxiety, stress, unfocused thought, insomnia & even nervous breakdowns in extreme cases.
d) Necessary & required to function and navigate in your everyday life and normal waking consciousness.

Keep us alert

When the brain is aroused and actively engaged in mental activities, it generates beta waves. These beta waves are of relatively low amplitude, and are the fastest of the four different brainwaves. 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. A person making a speech, or a teacher, or a talk show host would all be in beta when they are engaged in their work.

Never get too much of it

Even though Beta Brainwaves state is a common state which we are in everyday. But too much of it would not do us good. A majority of adults operate at Beta at the most time of the day. It’s no surprise that stress is today’s most common health problem.

The reason why this occurs to us can be illustrated by an example. People often wake up suddenly out of a deep sleep (Delta brainwaves) with an alarm. Then they immediately feel stressed and anxious (Beta brainwaves) about being late or being under time pressure. After insufficient sleep they pour caffeine down their throats to force themselves into wakefulness(Beta brainwaves), and the caffeine suppresses Theta and Alpha brainwaves, while promoting Beta brainwaves. All day they work under stress, pressure, and time urgency (Beta, Beta, and more Beta), until at night, they fall exhausted into deep sleep (Delta brainwaves), having spent too little time unwinding, relaxing, and drowsing (which would have given them a bit more Theta and Alpha). Thus many people shift their brains suddenly and forcefully from Delta to Beta, and then back to Delta.
