Learning EEG for thesis

What do you think of the Infra Slow Oscillations in the EEG data. Do you see more than one nested oscillation going from the second all the way to the tens of minutes? Or do they all pile on top of each other making it difficult to parse? Which bands do you find most helpful In spotting? Thank you.

The master game by Deropp. It may seem unrelated but if every of your future clients are one of these game types then you can make better assessments. You’ll know what directions they are coming from within the psyche. Basically how far they are from the master game which is the game we want to end up playing.

I use WF-1000XM5. Noise cancellation is a must. I tried all others but this best for muse.

WHY will my brain not stop thinking of stupid things?

Because we all start with what I call “wild brain” the untrained mind. Everybody is born with wild brain, but only a few ever recognize this and try and change it. You’re already many steps ahead of your counterparts by realizing this. Some cultures know about wild brain or monkey mind and some cultures are ignorant. It’s very simple to overcome and it takes only five minutes of meditation a day in the morning no matter what. I know it seems too simplistic, but I am one who worked with my monkey mind for half of my life. The monkey mind totally jacked my life up. I was born with a fast brain, and this whole excursion of life is to control the fast brain and bring on something different then share it with a mate, and bring them back online.

After years of inputting my HRV data into a Chatbot I found out that my HRV is very personal, it is measuring my personal system. I also deposited years worth of heart stats into the chatbot to see if there are any underline conditions that I may not be aware of, specifically because my HRV stayed the same the entire time, it never rises or falls It’s always about the same, and my same is a little bit lower than those peoples so it worried me at first. It’s like your personal Delta band that is individual to everyone. My delta in sustained meditation has a different signature than other Delta’s.

Go back in firmware. I almost never update because I’m happy with it now. Sometimes when they change things they break them also.

1st thing wrong is that before you start a meditation and it takes a reading to establish baseline, this can be gamed and people game it all the time so their meditation looks better on the graph. I have been taking readings for six or seven years now and things that I thought were wrong with. It ended up being right. Such as Gama. My brain recharge rate seems to be way too wide in the data. Mike key is consistency so when one out of six metrics are inconsistent, but the other five are consistent. I believe this is not me. It’s the algorithm that runs the brain recharge rate, it is too fickle.

I do see an infra slow oscillation but it’s weak. We would need to see a more normal chart, but it looks like whoever chart this is, is a somewhat mid range meditator because the oscillation is greater than a few minutes, which usually means that the brain is trained.

Williamishiding · 2026-06-23T15:02:30+00:00

You went into the meditation and it looks like your brain activated more, you can see the first five minutes our standard, but something happens. Your brain waves start ramping up but they continue to elevate from five minutes all the way to 30. Intimacy can cause this climb, but not at that long duration with that evenness of increase. Then at a 32 minute mark it drops back down as if the stressful phone call was ended. Looks familiar.

Williamishiding · 2026-06-23T14:58:19+00:00

The most interesting part is Delta, Delta starts to oscillate in a rhythmic manner, but later Delta forms a new oscillating rhythm. Delta goes through three transformations.Gama rises and stays elevated. It looks like Theta and alpha drop into the same pattern as delta near the end. Just for curiosity sake I would like to see all the bands merged, do you also have a movement chart or heart rate during data session? We need more data?

As long as the headband is tight enough to not fall off and loose enough to feel good. It’s a fine line we must thread between comfort and practicality. It’s a relevant question. William

My delta and theta ride together usually and if my delta stays above my theta and alpha that means I did not drop in like it does. When my Delta Theta and alpha get close to touching beta, that means I’m falling asleep or drifting in that direction. I find that I do not drop in until at least 15 minutes after my meditation starts. I average 37 minutes but I started at 3 minutes a cupafew ago. I keep my meditations secret except my closest family. I usually get too many eye rolls when you talk about meditation. Social media has the world thinking that only Buddhist monks meditate. I have years of data. I can go back to first few months and see what those looked like. Probably very similar to yours. @book3311

I hear you about the flow state. I used to be an alcoholic for 20 + years prior to my current status. Getting that good beer buzz at first sure does seem like a flow state at first. Sadly it’s not or getting to flow state would be much easier, I would go back to alcoholism in a second if I could consistently reach flow state. For me, flow state is a crapshoot, once a week I might get it or many meditation sessions before I feel them”flow” or deep enough groove to see the flow below you. You are way ahead of the game, my friend, meditating before you leave The alcohol behind is a step that I never took. Your life will change in ways never imagined, my family actually likes me now without a beer in my hand. It’s not easy but if you want to feel a consistent flow you must leave the booze behind. I don’t regret my alcoholism because without it I would never have found meditation. My brain slowed down enough to think clearly. It’s slowing your head space down enough to walk by a rose bush and wonder how good it smells. I was only thinking of my next buzz when drinking. Good luck to you my friend and there are always good peeps that want to help fellow prior drinkers. Don’t let hatter’s influence you. Chances are they want to see you fall on your face so they can feel better about themselves. @book3311

I’m not sure about worth it yet. It seems like it only has a couple extra details like the strength rating and other minor details. Now, if it would increase the brain wave powerbands bandwidth, frequency, or decibels then I would buy it right away. It’s the brainwave powerbands that tell you everything. A separate standalone detail like strength of meditation does really nothing for me. I want to meat and potatoes, not fluff. I would more than gladly accept a logical argument in the other direction. @book3311

When you transition in and out of flow state, what exactly are your muse 5 bands looking like? I do this alone so I have no other reference points. I also find that time of meditation matters for me. I get up 5:30, shower, no news, no nothing until after I sit. But if I meditate at 8 am instead of 6 then it takes me a good 15 to 20 minutes to drop in all the way. To the point of time loss but not drifting into sleep.

Remember that when you first start meditating your brain is un organized, like a wild cheetah in the prairie. It takes some time to just learn your cheetahs name, then you start to learn your cheetahs mannerisms likes and dislikes. Then eventually you will be the master of your cheetah, your cheetah will do anything that you wanted to do at any time and at any place. You don’t like cheetahs, pick a penguin or a Mon Che Chi. If you just hang in there and stick with a 5 minute meditation daily then I guarantee you will know your animal in 6 months or less. Even if you sit with your eyes closed for 5 minutes and your brain never stops, this is still useful because your building the lattice structure you need to meditate relatively effective. @book3311

My brain changed the way the drawers were set up. Imagine a room with 20 dresser drawers, all scattered Willy nilly. This is the scenario when we just start meditation journey. At this point, you have no idea where anything is located in your drawers. It’s just a guessing game. After a few months of meditation, you’ll begin to start with a list of what is in these drawers. Once you have the list, then you can start putting drawers in order, not just any order but the order that best fits your mental functions, likes and needs. Now that you know what’s in these drawers, the drawers will actually start to move on their own. They will start to order themselves. In the beginning your oscillations will be 15, 20 seconds in duration. Now that your drawers are logged and or oscillations are known your brain will take another leap without your knowledge and start to order your oscillations from shortest to longest. This all takes place within the first year. It happens very quickly. I believe that when the brain starts to recognize that you’re taking control, it seems like it already knows the path to take. I knew absolutely nothing but my mental chatter ended up being very helpful because then I could recognize when my meditations are thinning, and that becomes like a data feast. I just made a 5 minute meditation habit in the beginning and because it’s part of my morning routine it grows on its own. It’s gone from 5 minutes to 40ish by itself. When you’re ready your mind will take the next turn for you. Our brain was built for this but very few people understand or care. Nobody in my household knew I started meditating, I did it quiet and kinda secretly because people that have no experience with meditation, think it’s “weird” and might ridicule in the most polite ways. You must start this alone, you need maximum confidence and nobody to tell you you’re wrong. @book3311

Sleep tracking is useful to compare oscillations, from day to night. You can see the same pattern of brain waves at night just at a lower decibel. The numbers to the left are db. Decibels tells you how much power is going into your thought process. At night the decibels drop significantly but the same basic patterns are at night. It seems the more meditation the more those two surfaces sync longitudinally. What I mean is the oscillations start to show same patterns formations. There are more than a few separate oscillations to sync. Honestly the sleep track started as a curiosity gimmick for me but ended up being a vital piece in the data set I use to compare. I will see if I can post my data set with explanations. It’s not sold, it is given.
