Alpha waves
• In adult humans who are awake but at rest with the mind wandering and the eyes closed, the most prominent component of the EEG is fairly regular pattern of waves at an frequency of 8-12 Hz and an amplitude of 50-100 V when recorded from the scalp
• This pattern is the alpha rhythm.
• It is most marked in the parieto-occipital area, though it is sometimes observed in other locations.
