Delta waves, like other brain waves, can be recorded with electroencephalography (EEG) and are usually associated with the deep stage 3 of NREM sleep, also known as slow-wave sleep (SWS), and aid in characterizing the depth of sleep. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-are-delta-waves-2795104 Automatic Writing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_writing W.
