Document Summary
Having one kind of skill interferes with our ability to perform another task. You have a red bar - when asked to name the colour it is easy. The word is blue - but it is written in red colour/font. Interferes with our ability to name the colour. If you show a patient two houses - one of them on fire- they will say they look identical. If you ask them which one would they want to live in - they will say the intact house and not the one on fire. They are seeing something in the left side of the world but they don"t know why it is. All the brain areas are working individually. We tend to see these when we are relaxed or eyes closed. Theta activity ( 3. 5 - 7. 5 hz) Sleep spindles: bursts of 12-14 hz waves. K complexes: large waves (1 per min) Delta activity (large amplitude, low frequency: less than 3. 5 hz)
