• An fMRI image of the brain

• An electrical impulse in the brain

• How the brain communicates with the body

What brainwaves are observed during a "peak mental state" (heightened perception, learning and problem-solving tasks)?

• Gamma

• Beta

• Theta

• Delta

When can Alpha brainwaves be observed?

• During intense physical activity

• Active conversation

• When you look at bacon

• Relaxed mind / Yoga / before falling asleep

How can we predict mistakes by observing brainwaves?

• If there are high levels of Delta waves, that means that you're actually asleep

• If there are low levels of Theta waves, that means that the brain's learning and memory mechanisms are not working properly

• If there are high levels of Alpha waves, that means we have low levels of attention on a task

• If there are bursts of Beta waves, that means the brain is more focused on muscle movements than solving a task
