EEG and meditation have always shared an interesting relationship – creating the opportunity for anyone to engage in simple mindfulness practice using EEG has been the work of Michael Apollo at InteraXon. His work has been focused on quanitifying internal states relating to simple mindfulness practices. InteraXon has been around for the past 5 years providing engaging experiences using brainwave controlled devices.
This evening we will partake within an interactive view into how meditation alters one’s own brainwaves, along with insight into the future use of brainwave controlled devices as an aid to bridge science and contemplative practice.
There will be a silent seated meditation practice with at least one participant having the opportunity to have their EEG recorded to review after our session. There will also be an opportunity for asking questions and engaging with brainwave enabled experiences.
