when you're awake your brain shows this remarkably frenetic high frequency electrical activity in other words your brain is going in terms of its brain waves it's going up and down many many times a second and the amplitude is and the amplitude is very small which kind of is paradoxically you think if i'm awake then my brain is active and so the size of those brain waves should be big it's not it's actually very small and here's the reason different parts of your brain are doing different things at different times so those brain waves sort of are all cancelling each other out
