Brainwave Reading: (done for each experiment I design & conduct )
The left column is the channel type, which corresponds to one of the headsets 16 channels. Looking at this recording I immediately see a few things, first I see that these are Theta Waves. I also see that the experimentee is awake and see mental activity occurring. I see that cerebrum has been activated (based on column) in both left and right hemispheres. Seeing the distance apart from the jumps, (between 1-2 and 4-5) I rule out the experimentee opening their eyes, being touched, or speaking. I then can hypothesize that the jumps are because of a sound, which was loud at two different times very close together. Therefore my data proves what actually happened during Dr. Bill’s meditation experiment (eyes closed, sitting in a chair, no noise in the room) one of my classmates opened the door, saw us, and closed the door. I use this same analysis to understand all of my recordings, this is a more simple version as some can take me a very long time to understand!

What does EEG mean?
What does EEG mean?
An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a method of studying cognitive processes through recording electrical activity in the brain or brainwaves. An EEG uses scalp electrodes, and each records a separate brainwave pattern.

Hi there! My name is Ryan Berger, I am from the Bay Area and live in Waimea. I have been conducting research using an Electroencephalogram (EEG) starting my junior year. I started my EEG research by looking at the power spectral density of EEG frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma) on my classmates, friends, and family. I am very passionate about using an EEG to look at brainwaves, understanding and analyzing during different activities including motor functions, meditation, reading, math, and other experiments. I am using my previous knowledge to research using an EEG to communicate with unresponsive patients including (Aphasia, Dementia, and Unresponsive Wakefulness Syndrome (UWS), and other patients unable to communicate well. I am excited to see where my research goes and give back to the community!
