As explained here:

Meditators need no brain scanners if your perceptual disorder is gone at 12 breath per minutes during breath meditation

What you need for this:

An ECG recorder as for instance the iWorx, model RA834:

Estimation of the Respiratory Rate from Localised ECG at Different Auscultation Sites
  • costs: a view 1 000 USD.

Alternatively we can take OpenBCI Cyton:

  • cost: 350 – 1000 USD.

Matlab

  • If we want more than look at the data at home we need a Matlab licence which is 1 000 USD a years.

The compiled version of Matlab

  • should also work

Octave

  • should also work.
