Lately, I’ve been very interested in hypnosis (and self-hypnosis), meditation, spirituality and such topics that seem to be detached from the hard, scientific reality. However, it turns out that they are not as detached as I thought. There are devices that measure brain waves and can show when we are in the phase of concentration, meditation, thinking and even stress. Of course, the very knowledge of which waves are responsible for which state of our consciousness is nothing new, but the fact that you can already check it at home is quite new. In addition, there is quite a bit of research on brainwave and imagination\/visualization in the context of applying it as control of artificial limbs. Imagine a prosthetic hand controlled by a man only by the imagination that his hand takes a cup and puts it to his mouth in order to drink a tea…. Fantastic! However I want to focus on the more metaphysical element – that is, meditation and other states of consciousness (in particular, I am interested in theta waves).<\/p>
Because I like to do various DIY (generally create various „handy stuff” and not only) – I decided to launch a new project entitled „Biofeedback device – meditation learning”. I assume that I will do most things myself and of course use generally available examples, blogs, documentation, etc.<\/p>
