EEG Meditation

About EEG Meditation Android App

EEG Meditation app for NeuroSky MindWave Mobile (Mobile+, Mobile 2, BrainLink Pro) device helps you in your meditation (shamatha) practice. This app reads electrical activity of the brain with EEG technology of NeuroSky MindWave Mobile device connected via Bluetooth to Android device. In order to use this application, you need to have NeuroSky MindWave Mobile headset.

Added the ability to use algorithm without adaptation, which is especially useful for old neuroheadsets, before versions MM + and MM2. Use the "No-levelling formula" option if, after a couple of minutes after the start of the meditation, the data dropped significantly.

If headset gets connected more than in 5 seconds, try to clean list of paired devices on your phone.

When the application is running, turn off Wi-Fi on the smartphone, if it has Bluetooth 5, and if there is a regular disconnection ("Get data time out!") during the first minute after the start of application.

Application requires Android device with a screen resolution of at least 480x800.

App makes a sound signal whenever the selected by user meditation level threshold is exceeded or not reached, according to your choice. Also you can select a tone or white noise. This sound signal allows you to control your meditation (with closed eyes, or the opened ones), and in 1-2 seconds to know, that you are out of meditation. Also, when the level of your meditation exceeds your chosen threshold, a colored bar appears at the bottom of the screen. The application remembers user settings on the next launch.
For development of the mind the NeuroSky Mindwave Mobile headset and this app can be compared to collapsible dumbbells for the development of the physical body. If you just look at dumbbells every day, touch them and watch videos on Youtube about how to do best exercises with dumbbells, how others do these exercises and discuss these exercises with friends, there will be no progress.

The author of this app has crisscrossed half of India for 8 years, published more than 20,000 photos http://scriptures.ru/india/photogalleries.htm, lived in dozens of ashrams, communicated with several saints & wonder-workers, hundreds of monks, and saw thousands of stray sadhus pretending to be saints and connoisseurs of meditation and samadhi.

I've read in scriptures, that meditation is higher than any rituals and mantras. I've realized, that only continuous practice of meditation can really give a chance to self-realization.

This app is a kind of quintessence of meditation practice. It is not one more Cargo cult of spirituality. The main idea of genuine meditation is to stop internal monologue for a longer period of time. The thoughts are related with beta rhythm (12-30 Hz) of the brain, and meditation starts with prevalence of alpha rhythm (8-12 Hz). All these easily can be tracked by NeuroSky MindWave Mobile headset. This app (with help of headset) can track your brain rhythms and starts to make a sound signal after 1-2 seconds of your changed state of meditation (in or out, according to your choice). This sound signal allows you to control your meditation, and in 1-2 seconds to know, that you are out of meditation (or in). This allowes you to make the efforts to return to the state of meditation, thereby making your practice more efficient and faster. There is nothing easier for meditation training, than this exercise.

You can use this app in your comfortable home in your favorite armchair, and this will be much more efficient for your personal growth and self-realization, than desperate searches through the turmoil in the hope of a sudden 'miraculous' transformation, which some bored saint under banyan tree could do out of the blue for you.
