[edit] Not

Not sure about "..Delta activity is characterized by frequencies under 4 Hz and is absent in awake healthy adults, but is physiological and normal in awake children under the age of 13."

As far as I know there is some delta activity in waking adults therefore it is not absent. Do you have a reference for the statement??? Nk.sheridan   Talk 17:01, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

This was a great resouce for me, a WPW heart patient. If the topic was merged with brain waves, I would not have found the article useful.

- A reference between the articles would be usefull, but since it are two completely different articles I would it seems not a really good idea. If one searches for information about delta waves as e.g. a student, you couldn't care less about the TV series.

"normal in awake infants under the age of 13 years" - is this a typo? maybe years should be months. or maybe the author used a different definition of infants than I'm familiar with. Zoffoperskof 06:52, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

yeah ok, it could be "children" I suppose, though if you look at the 2nd paragraph of Infant the definition works... But it's years and not months. XApple 11:48, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
