For those without knowledge of what this means, there are various frequencies when it comes to your "brainwaves", ranging from delta associated with sleep, to beta and high beta associated with normal every day concentration and anxious concentration respectively. Now, the current practice leans towards SMR or Alpha because SMR is associated with a relaxed kind of intense concentration, while alpha is generally more relaxed. It's much more complex then this, employing databases to see variations in your brain and that of others, and if you care you can wiki it :).
