Iβm not sure what the XI means . But there are different brain waves
1. Beta Waves ( 12 - 30 Hz ) Itβs our alertness and awaking hours . They are commonly observed in the Frontal Lobe of the brain.
2 Alpha Waves ( 8 -12 Hz ). These wave are associated with Calmness and Relaxation. These are commonly found in the Occipital Lobe of the brain.
3. Theta Wave ( 4 - 8 Hz ) these wave deals in Meditation, Creativity and Dreaming. These waves are most commonly observed in the Temporal Lobe of the brain.
4 Delta Wave ( 0.5 - 4 Hz ) these waves are associated with Deep Sleep and Unconsciousness . These wave are observed in the Parietal and Frontal Lobes of the brain .
When the brain waves are normal , when at a steady spike rhythm.
When the brain wave are out of Wack and spiking highs and lows are the cause of seizures.
I hope this helped some .
