Brain waves create consciousness

Consciousness has been a mystery from very early civilization. Every religion and many philosophers have tried to explain consciousness. After rapid development of science and technology, consciousness has been the subject of intense research in psychology, neuroscience and quantum mechanics. Neuroscience is the most promising field and has made significant progress in understanding the structure and function of brain. Human brain has 100 billion neurons and 300 trillion constantly changing connections. At the root of all our thoughts, emotions and behaviors is the communication between neurons within our brains. Brain waves are produced by synchronized electrical pulses from masses of neurons communicating with each other. Brain wave is repetitive or rhythmic neural activity in the brain. Brain waves are classified in five bands – delta, theta, alpha, beta, gamma – with different frequencies. Consciousness is a function of the frequencies in these bands.
