Alpha waves, Beta waves, Theta waves, Delta waves, ... come on now, you have got to be kidding. Brain waves electrically generated and discharged, when these eyes are closed while synchronously timed to one of those rhythms of life. Who came up with these names anyway? For those who might need a little help with finding a copy of the Greek Alphabet to help understand all the words, here is the best copy found among my collections.
It comes out of my text titled
The Language of the New Testament by Eugene Van Ness Goetchius. Charles Scribner's Sons, NY published it 1965. My early days into Greek but who's counting? The pronunciation of these letters are given in the right-hand column. The name of each letter comes just before, with the forms of each letter to start things off. (capitals then small case) Here you go ... a helpful chart for all the terms yet to come. Old "Big A" will be doing his happy dance along the way!
