Hello World!

I am starting this blog as a place to record my ideas, experiments and discoveries whilst I explore using my openBCI EEG machine.  The first real post (coming soon) will cover setting the device up and then we will begin looking at neuroscience and how to use this device properly to view and record brain activity.

I very much think of this blog as my "left brain" thoughts which accompany my more "right brained" and occult Liminal Whispers blog.  Here I will be more scientific and rigorous albeit in a playful way.

Experiments I would like to explore once I am fully up and running include:

• Comparing the brain in meditative andnon-meditative states.
• Exploring how different cheeses effect brain state and therefore dreaming.  What is the best cheese to sleep with if you want a nightmare?
• Looking at the relationship between the random fluctuations on each wave in a repeating brainwave state.
• Studying nootropics and what they are doing to the brain. 
• What music does to the brain (after all I work for a music company)
• Getting superpowers with biofeedback.

The next post will detail the openBCI, what components it contains and what is needed to practically get it up and running on a Windows-based home PC.
