Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During wakefulness and focused mental activity, the EEG recordings show low-voltage, high-frequency brain waves known as beta waves. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it describes the dominant waves during Paul's study period. High-voltage, low-frequency brain waves (Option C) are seen during sleep, while low-voltage, low-frequency brain waves (Option D) are associated with drowsiness and relaxation. High-voltage, high-frequency brain waves (Option A) are not a typical EEG pattern.
