The term Brain wave has multiple meanings. For our purposes, we will be using it as the layman's term to describe the fields detected via Electroencephalography (EEG). There are 6 main wave patterns listed from lowest to highest frequency with main characteristics <ref> Niedermeyer E. and da Silva F.L. (2004).
