After that post a while back in which I posted some of my own EEG recordings I had intended to do another post about EEG and brain waves in general, but then got sidetracked. After further thought, I think I need to get more reading on the subject done before I can make a substantive post, but hopefully within the next few weeks I will have a stronger understanding myself. So, yes, a summary of brain waves is in the works. In the meantime, I would highly recommend the first book I mentioned (although I recognize that it isn't a highly common one). Other than that, I've actually had a hard time finding a good book myself (hence my excitement today about finding that book).Mozglubovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04803674886685831282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196547498235237605.post-61581878197241651012008-07-17T17:45:00.000-04:002008-07-17T17:45:00.000-04:00Hey Mozglubov, those sound pretty cool.

Brain waves.<BR/><BR/>There's a guy at my office who is fascinated with brain waves, and how they relate to all kinds of woo. He tells me how brain waves can be used to read thoughts and emotions, how sounds and images can manipulate brain waves, and how waves emitted into the brain can affect mood, transmit ideas, etc.<BR/><BR/>Nearly all of it sounds like total bullshit, but I have to concede the existence of some sort of brain wave. I'm not really sure what they are, how they're generated, or what if any information they contain.<BR/><BR/>Do you know anything about brain waves? Can you recommend a site or book, or perhaps write a summary?<BR/><BR/>Thanks!JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06171588107770126499noreply@blogger.com
