A delta wave is a high amplitude Brain wave in Humans (and Ancients) usually associated with slow-wave sleep. When the Aurora was discovered, Dr. McKay noticed that the Lanteans in stasis were showing signs that they were conscious because of their delta waves. (SGA: " Aurora")

  • A delta wave is a high amplitude Brain wave in Humans (and Ancients) usually associated with slow-wave sleep. When the Aurora was discovered, Dr. McKay noticed that the Lanteans in stasis were showing signs that they were conscious because of their delta waves. (SGA: " Aurora")
  • A delta wave was a form of brainwave. Different species had different delta wave frequencies. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Delta waves were also associated with sleep. The delta wave augmenters could be used to augment and induce a deep sleep. (TV: Kinda) The sky fish were fond of singing, since it resonated the crystal fog they lived in and caused pleasing delta waves. (TV: A Christmas Carol)
  • A delta wave is a brain pattern usually associated with deep sleep or a coma. When Doctor Julian Bashir was attacked by a Lethean named Altovar in 2371, he fell into a coma. He believed himself to be conscious and on Deep Space 9 after the attack; however, he learned that what seemed to be the space station was actually a representation of his mind, since a tricorder he used was only able to pick up delta waves from himself and nothing else. (DS9: "Distant Voices")
  • A delta wave (or delta rhythm) is a brain pattern which is usually associated with deep sleep or coma. Upon examining Simon Van Gelder aboard the USS Enterprise in 2266, Doctor Leonard McCoy's electroencephalograph detected bursts of delta waves in Van Gelder's brain which despite being highly abnormal, didn't indicate schizophrenia, tissue damage or any other condition with which McCoy was familiar with. The Enterprise crew later discovered that it was caused by Dr. Tristan Adams' neural neutralizer. (TOS novelization: Dagger of the Mind)

(TOS novelization: Dagger of the Mind) Following an attack by the Lethean Altovar in 2371, Dr. Julian Bashir fell into a coma. While in a coma, he found himself on Deep Space 9 after the attack, however he learned that the station only represented his mind because his tricorder was only able to detect his delta waves.

(DS9: "Distant Voices") According to an ultimately unused line of dialogue from the final draft script of TOS: "Dagger of the Mind" , a patient's delta waves and brain pattern were typically monitored by a particular index on a body function panel in the sickbay of the USS Enterprise.
  • A delta wave was a form of brainwave. Different species had different delta wave frequencies. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) Delta waves were also associated with sleep. The delta wave augmenters could be used to augment and induce a deep sleep. (TV: Kinda) These delta wave could be used to "fry" the brains of all sentient life within a given radius of the relevant delta wave generator, although they could also be calibrated to be species-specific according to the brainwave frequency of the species. The Ninth Doctor constructed a delta wave generator on the Game Station to destroy the Daleks, but was unable to bring himself to use it as there wasn't enough time to allow him to calibrate it for Daleks alone, meaning that all humans on Earth would have died too. (TV: The Parting of the Ways) The sky fish were fond of singing, since it resonated the crystal fog they lived in and caused pleasing delta waves. (TV: A Christmas Carol)
