EEG correlations of emotion :Frequency Bands Cognitive/Affect Correlations in Human Subjects

Delta 0.5-4 Hz Deep sleep, motivational states (e.g. hunger)

Theta 4-8 Hz Memory, recall

Alpha 8-13 Hz Relaxing/meditative state, attention

Beta 13-30 Hz Cognitive processes

Gamma >30 Hz Negative state (worry)
