The amazing adventures of blog-dude.

[Guest guest]

Hi guys!

I did my second test, this time I got a real good one channel

connection and everything seemingly looked good. Then we kind of just

sat there and looked at the BioExplorer and wondered. Okay, what now?

So, some simple questions arose.

1.) What exactly are the meters reading? I gather it is some sort of

electrical activity relative to various parts of the brain. Is a lot

of activity good, or bad, high or low frequencies, and what kind of

exercise is used to regulate the patterns. Maybe there's a beginner

FAQ that I can read.

2.) Does anyone have a chart that shows what the different regions of

the brain actually do? That would be most interesting.

3.) So let's say I get an assessment, and it asks me to train in a

certain region, with a certain goal in mind. Does my brain just

figure out how to make it happen, or do I concentrate on puppies and

clouds and rainbows to get into the right brain-train?

Thanks,

Hi Blog-dude! Nice work.

I'm a home trainer and have been following your adventure. Thanks for

sharing with us.

You should get some eloquent responses to your questions. Here is a

link to some information on brain frequencies:

What design are you using?

In BioExplorer you can find out what the meters show - click Window>

Signal Diagram and look at the meters to see what is connected to

In. An easy way to see what filters you have is to click on Tools>

Filters.

A fun way to see change in activity is to put the electrode at the

back of the head like Pz, RECORD the session and close your

eyes and when you replay the session you'll see, if you're producing

nice alpha, an increase in alpha activity with eyes closed that ought

to decrease when eyes are open. It will show in the raw trace (have

an oscilloscope connected to the source) and any display objects

connected to the the filter and a spectrum analyzer is always nice to

explore. If one of you doesn't have this effect then the other one

likely will. At least one of every couple ought to make alpha, right?

If you haven't played with the designs yet, that will be something to

do while you wait for your electrodes.

Yes, your brain will figure out what to do using the feedback. It's

smart.

Enjoy,
