Continuing off of the posts about electroencephalography: While I've been waiting for my literal children's toy amateur EEG monitor to arrive in the mail, I discovered that the college I'm attending has a more professional EEG headset that uses the same hardware. So far I've written a basic python API for the NeuroSky chipset (used in both devices) that can read the signal quality, frequency bands, and raw EEG waveform from the device. Planned experiments include: >Quantifying the efficacy of different methods of meditation >Analyzing the brain's state during energy work or within an altered state of consciousness >Determining if the astrologer for my university newspaper is a real psychic or just a FAKE MUNDIE POSER Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Also, please feel free to discuss other technologically-related /fringe/ topics, I don't want this thread to just be my EEG blogposts.
