This is an absolutely fascinating idea. I think most of the
biofeedback equipment on the market is grossly overpriced, and if it
were more commonly available a whole lot of people would be better
served. This would by no means reduce the need for therapists, who
would be able to keep themselves very busy as "coaches." One very
interesting new area is heart rate variability (based either on
EKG/ecg or on a finger pulse sensor), which seems to be important in
reducing the potential for heart attacks, etc. The process of
learning to increase your heart rate variability apparently involves
learning to be less angry. I don't really understand the whole
psychophysiology of it, but there is a website, www.heartmath.com,
that I think some of us might find interesting to check out.
Nevertheless, I really hope these side excursions do not distract us
from accomplishing our main purpose of developing the openEEG system.
