<reasoning>

Identify brain wave patterns associated with states of consciousness

• Beta waves: Active, alert, and focused waking state.
• Alpha waves: Relaxed, calm, or meditative waking state with eyes closed.
• Theta waves: Light sleep (Stage 1 and Stage 2 sleep).
• Delta waves: Deep, slow-wave sleep (Stage 3 and Stage 4 sleep).

Determine the pattern for a person who is deeply asleep

• Deep sleep is characterized by slow, high-amplitude EEG activity.
• These slow waves are specifically classified as delta waves.
