Since several years, we where reviewing consumer grade low-cost high-quality physiological sensor devices. But our goal is to study the effect of practicing mediation on physiological parameters. Why did we have to review for so long?
Who takes a scientist serious who studies the effect of practicing meditation with his Garmin watch? This is possible, if the watch is validated in a paper. Who takes a scientist serious who uses the Muse headband with the Interaxon Muse app for scientific studies?
atrainingTracker, Polar OH1, Apple watches, the Muse headband with the Mind Monitor app, and several devices, as the one presented here:
are developed or reviewed by scientists an will be taken serious by other scientists. We can also follow the scientists who developed this cap:
For scientists which do not have a lot of money, they will hardly buy a product from someone who wants to make as much money out of them as possible.
The cap discussed here is shown in a laboratory where it is used for practical applications. Our application is also practical. Their cap does not have as many reviews as the Muse Headband and www.openBCI.com , on YouTube, since only few use applications as they have.
The cap is on the market since a long time. We we have discovered it only now. We think it is because only view are looking for such a cap, only view have such an application, and only view read and write these kind of reviews about these kind of devices for these kind of applications.
