I heard that brainwaves run around 13 and some other number of hertz.

What is the level of brainwaves and how does living in a modern world affect such behavior?

      200 - 1000 nanohertz

      Delta - up to 3hz
      Theta - 3 to 8hz
      Alpha - 8 to 12hz
      Beta - 12 to 30hz
      Gamme - 26 to 100hz

      Anything above 26hz is rarely an actual brain wave; it’s usually an artifact reading and can only be read via corticoelectroencephalography (say that three times real fast; means direct contact with the cerebral cortex).
