Brain waves when listening to music
This page contains the data and analysis of a brain wave recording session I did using a Muse EEG Headband. Session Characteristics All Sensors, Smoothed Out Looking at the smoothed out signal, some interesting things stand out immediately: However, these are the average levels for all the sensors. Looking at individual sensors typically reveals even …
Brain waves when blinking
This page contains the data and analysis of a brain wave recording session I did using a Muse EEG Headband. Session Characteristics All Sensors – Absolute Levels Looking at the graph encompassing all brainwaves from all sensors, we can see regular peaks, withDeltabrainwaves having the largest amplitudes. This is expected since eye-blinking artifacts will affect the …
Can You Listen to Binaural Beats Without Headphones?
Do binaural beats work without headphones? The answer is no (but). Headphones are an important part of binaural beats because of how the beats are designed to work. Just as a refresher, let’s go over that explanation quickly. Binaural Beats Work Endogenously Since I use 432 Hz a lot, let’s use it as an example. …
Getting a Good Signal with the Muse Headband
When measuring brainwaves, it’s fundamental to get a clear signal with minimal noise. I usually discard all the sessions that exceed a certain noise threshold, because noise can distort the information we need to analyze. There are some aspects to take into consideration when trying to get a good signal. Headset Placement Even though I …
What Is Brainwave Entrainment?
When presented with a periodic stimulus, like a repeating light, sound or touch, brainwaves may sometimes synchronize with it, resulting in a large numbers of neurons firing at the same rate of the stimulus. This phenomenon is known as brainwave entrainment. In this article, I will present to you all I’ve learned and researched about …
