Alpha waves are emanations produced by psychic terrans, such as ghosts, when they are using psionic powers.[1] Psychics can recognize other psychics by their alpha waves. While they can track the area of a fellow psychic, this does not allow them to pinpoint their exact location.[2]
Zerg can detect ghosts' alpha waves, as the wavelengths are similar to those used to control,[3] although this fact was relatively unknown among the general civilian populace prior to the invasion of Maltair IV.[4] Due in part to a Terran Dominion propaganda campaign, this became common knowledge during the hunt for Colin Phash.[5]
The terrans’ turret defense and other anti-ghost detectors scan these waves.[3] Black widows are able to detect alpha patterns, swarm a target area, and explode.[2]
