What measures emotional changes? What does this actually measure and how does it tell you about emotional changes?

What is a state of consciousness for each brainwave?
GSR - electrical conductivity of the skin.

Beta - NWC
Alpha - Daydreaming
Theta - light sleep
Delta - deep sleep

There should be a mention of REM somewhere there.

No? You're thinking beta I assume but we're told it's technically "beta-like" waves but not beta since beta = NWC.

Higher attention = higher awareness generally. Not sure what else you're asking?

Reduces the experience of pain and alleviates stress are the major two.

Really? Ok that's not the way I was taught (and it's not the way that it's presented in my uni textbook).

Yeah, all the sources I've seen have REM as "beta-like" waves not just "beta" waves.

That's why it's known as the paradoxial sleep right? because your brain appears to be active whereas your body is paralysed

basically it allows a deep relaxation that can increase focus, intelligence, aid stress/sleep, enhance creativity and even recovery after operations/overtraining.

I'm not really understanding the distinctions of functions/location between:

RAS, Reticular Formation and the thalamus.

For anatomical locations, remember a picture says a thousand words (that's how I managed to survive neuroanatomy).

The RAS isn't an anatomical formation per se - it's a collection of bits and pieces from the brain which collectively are responsible



The Reticular Formation is there. If you trace the thalamus on that picture and read down, you should be able to see the RF. That's involved in arousal and sleep-wake regulation.

The thalamus acts as a sort of "Flinders Street" of neurones, connecting the lower neurons to the cortical neurons.

How is everyone finding Consciousness as an AOS so far? Is it confusing/difficult?

Our school is doing Memory first (AOS 2).
