Frequency Bands

Waveform
The named ranges used to describe where a setting's pulse rate falls: Delta (0.5 to 4 Hz), Theta (4 to 8 Hz), Alpha (8 to 12 Hz), Beta (12 to 30 Hz), and Gamma (above about 30 Hz). The names are borrowed from EEG brain-wave naming and label the pulse rate only; by themselves they do not indicate a specific effect in the body.

Also known as: Delta Frequency Band, Theta Frequency Band, Alpha Frequency Band, Beta Frequency Band, Gamma Frequency Band

The named frequency bands on a log-frequency axisA logarithmic frequency axis from about half a hertz to a few hundred hertz, divided into the named ranges Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma. The band name only marks where a setting pulse rate falls; it is not a claim about an effect in the body.Delta0.5-4 HzTheta4-8 HzAlpha8-12 HzBeta12-30 HzGamma>30 Hz0.5481230300Pulse rate (Hz, log scale)Band names label where a setting's pulse rate falls, not an effect in the body.© 2026 Gauss Labs
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.
