We don't map frequency bands to body effects

Unconfirmed
You'll see charts that give each frequency band a job: Delta for recovery, Alpha for relaxation, Beta for cellular stimulation, and so on. We don't make those pairings. In our report the band name only shows where a setting's pulse rate falls.

Why we leave it out

That band-to-effect table is all over PEMF marketing, but we couldn't find it in the peer-reviewed literature. It borrows the Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma names from EEG, which describe brain rhythms measured at the scalp, and reassigns them to a device's pulse rate, which is a different thing. Frequency does matter, but the real findings are specific windows tied to a condition, not a tidy five-band menu, and they don't line up with the marketing chart. So we report the band as a label and leave the effect claim out.

The band names are borrowed from EEG and mark where a setting's pulse rate sits on the frequency axis: Delta is the slowest, Gamma the fastest. They are labels for the pulse rate, not a promise of a particular effect in the body.
