One of my friends is an artist who used meditation with these electrodes to cause a procedurally generated story to change depending on your meditative state. The biggest thing i noticed is that single point meditation versus no thought meditation activated completely different brainwaves. Also the precision isn't great, these do work but the data is very noisy.

I’ve heard that handheld machines exist that allow spirits to communicate with humans by making the machine form text on a screen. What’s a good such consumer-grade machine? I’d like to buy one.

>>5469 I like this.

In one of Bruce Moen's books, he tells that one day he was sitting with Bob Monroe, and Bob pointed at a light switch or something and asked how come we can't turn it on and off with our intent like we can change things in the astral. The answer is partially density, partially that you actually can, and if you see the light in a switched state long enough, it will eventually switch somehow (most probably synchronisticaly). There are consumer products such as lamps that contain a mechanism that is very sensitive to quantum tunneling and can be triggered by thought, but their marketability is very limited. They could probably be used for spirit communication, too. But how would you avoid the Philip Experiment effect (other than being extremely disciplined with your energy), I don't know. I had the idea once to buy a hardware random number generator that is susceptible to quantum interference. But I know it would just gather dust after my initial experiments, just as my EEG is.

>>5695 This is the kind of thing I was talking about: http://www.psyleron.com But it seems very dead. Perhaps /fringe/ should build one such device.

>>4170 Did you continue with this project? Related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R53Y-iaAauY

>>6309 Sorry for not replying in a while, I've been slowly continuing with the project, but college has made things busier. To sum up what's happened so far, the good news is: >Got the Force Trainer II amateur consumer EEG headset, and it works perfectly with the NeuroSky python library I wrote. (Albeit only on Windows for some reason? Must be a software issue.) >Talked with one of the professors about this project, got approval for doing an independent study >Learned that there's a grad student who's doing similar studies on brainwaves The bad news: <After doing all this preparation, I've now just realized I have no idea how to perform proper scientific research, WHOOPS <I've generally realized that I know hardly anything about this field compared to most of the Anons on this board Granted, those two issues will hopefully solve themselves given time and work on this project. >>5695 >>5738 I did a bit of digging into that psyleron website, the papers they cite seem to suggest that their products are based around detecting patterns from some hardware random number generator. Somewhat related, but I managed to find a project page for a DIY, NIST-compliant hardware quantum random number generator: https://github.com/openqrng/QT1 (Interestingly enough, it works on that same quantum tunneling principle you were referring to.) I'm mentioning this since every other "consumer" QRNG device is so expensive that you're likely better off going to an online custom PCB fab/assembler if you want to do any experiments with this sort of tech. While I'd like to do some tests with these things myself, I'm still in the middle of working on EEG stuff, and frankly I'm not sure what I could even do with it other than replicate previous experiments that others have done. I've also built a transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) device on a whim earlier so I'm trying to steer clear of doing this sort of thing again >>4177 >Also the precision isn't great, these do work but the data is very noisy. Yeah, the medical papers I've read and experience I've had with those headsets seem to corroborate that fact.

>>7627 >I've now just realized I have no idea how to perform proper scientific research You should be able to pick extra courses and add them outside of your regular curriculum (depending on what kind of education/institution you're at, of course), there should be one giving an introduction to the scientific method. If you're serious, that's how you'll have to do this.

>>7628 Or use something like this https://scientific-method-course.github.io/

>>7629 "The scientific method" is simply hypothesize, test, refine. That course should be called "modern research techniques" or something. And don't get me started on some idiots trying to shove "publish in a peer-reviewed publication" into the scientific method. >college It's sad to see most people just forget about magical pursuits once they get into "real life", or get a "real job". Fucking Demiurge.
