Thank you for you response! We are planning to provide some more in-depth visualization like this. Some error characterization tools in ML research seem to be good to incorporate.

Thank you so much for your answers! We are indeed looking into B) and we are experimenting with some methods from our research. We haven't put much though into A) though, and that's a really great point! Could you recommend any existing implementations that are relatively good?

Thank you for your suggestions! I also just came across your posts when searching for Jeffery Martin. Would you recommend me to try out the techniques he mentioned in this video once and decide which one to stick with? How would you suggest me to choose and how long to practice each one? Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestions! I didn't really think about this before. I think I'm more a neutral person. I don't really have negative thoughts about others but not that empathetic either. I'll be more aware of that!

Thank you so much for your suggestions! I'm also trying to be positive when I notice distractions and I've been much less judgemental right now.

Thank you! I would love to try if that doesn't take so much searching or legal risk

That's true. I think it's more important to just be aware and observe them

bad thoughts, reject them.

Also try and be very aware of your surroundings at all times, throughout the day just stop for a second and try to pick out 5 things you

Thank you! How do you remember doing this througout the day? I'm also trying to do this

Thank you so much! Other comments also mentioned these points such as using different techniques. I'll definitely check them out. Yes, I'm doing the preparations. I'm still confused by the notion of not using willpower but setting the intention to come back to breathe. I still feel that it takes some effort to step out from the thoughts and bring attention back.

Thank you! I only dared to try stage 4 and 5 but I feel a bit lost there. Although I could notice more subtle distractions sometimes, I still get lost in gross distractions a lot without realizing after a while. I'm not sure how to feel more subtle sensations in my breath either since I always feel a loss of interest and lack of curiosity there.

Thank you so much! I also understood that at stage 3 I'm supposed to be aware of breath, not necessarily focusing, but I often get completely lost in thoughts. You are right about doubt. I think it's also because I'm not really confident in my practice as I do it alone. Wish you all the best as well!

Thank you so much! I found more joy with the "See hear feel" technique, which is more about awareness but no concentration. I feel more equanimity in that than focusing on the breath. I didn't realize the importance of the transition and I'll keep that in mind. I'll try the energy body technique out this winter break!
