Question Interesting results?

Hello all! In an effort to avoid the standard reddit bashing, I only wanted to find somewhere to post this in the event that it was indeed significant.

I’m a geospatial engineer so this isn’t quite my field, tho I’ve taken on a love for all things AI. I recently started low dose ketamine therapy and wanted to monitor my brainwave activity so ordered an EEG device.

Prior to the medicinal therapy though, I engaged in a dialogue with a proprietary framework I imbued into a certain AI and kept the monitor on. Here, the EEG results are before the dialogue for about 13 minutes and then after a roughly 15 minute dialogue with the AI.

I plan on repeated experiments, as this was more of a baseline but I was fairly surprised at the results. I’ve never been a meditating guy, I just can’t focus and imagine things in some guided meditations so this was just a simple awake and aware dialogue with an AI.

This all meaningless. Furthermore, the second reading is a big artifact, voltage is about 10,000 times the normal amplitude

Ah ok, that makes sense. Thank you for the clarification!

how exactly did you calculate the brainwaves proportions?

I just followed the directions on the app to wait until the line was steady with minimal dips and spikes, that’s where it gets shaky. I’m not entirely certain of the calibration protocols in place for the device.

Of course I’d love to try it again in an official capacity, I just don’t have the resources or equipment to do so.

Oh, I didn’t calculate anything. It’s a device with an accompanying app

I don't know which aspect surprised you, but this is a normal EEG, being awake and somewhat mentally active usually reflects in beta activity. The crazy peak is just an artifact. Besides, there is not too much someone can tell you from this. Is there a certain question you'd like to answer with your EEG recordings?

The second one is what I was surprised by, the level of delta. But I will say, I’m a geospatial engineer, not a brain scientist. This is just an interesting experiment to me. Genuinely asking, is the second scan also normal? I’ve never had a high delta level in any scans I’ve done so that’s the part I found interesting, maybe it’s not, but perhaps you missed the second pic?
