If your map has more than 30uV, the data likely contains artifact and you may want to repeat the collection. However, recognize that anything over 5uV will be red and power may increase to 20+ uV. When the color is dark blue the power is very low. The different colors on a brain map (the multi-colored options) are the power in that area of the brain. The power is calculated for 1 epoch at each of the four sites. Two in the front near your temples and two on the back behind your ears. For example, the Muse headset contains four electrode sites.

The 2nd second of data is the next epoch, all the way until the collection ends.Įach one second epoch of brain data is individually analyzed by calculating the power at each electrode site in the headset. The 1st second of data from the collection is the 1st epoch. In Opti Brain apps, all epochs are 1 second in length. When brain waves are analyzed they are divided into epochs to make analysis simpler. EpochĪn epoch is one short time burst of brain data. Before seeing the difference between the two calculations it is helpful to understand what an epoch is. So it is important to select the correct button (the chair or the shoe) when setting up your map. Resting maps are calculated completely different from in motion maps. Time the collection so that it stops immediately before you start the motion. They can simply press ‘Stop’ after you have started your motion. Sometimes, it is helpful for someone else to help you capture your brain collection. Or you may select 3s to capture just the motion of your putt. For example, if you are putting a golf ball, you may select 5 or 10 seconds to capture your putting routine. This will depend of the activity you are performing. First decide what time frame for your collection is most appropriate. Here is an example of how you would collect data during an in motion collection.
