So which devices should physiologists who meditate buy which are on a budget?

Last Updated on June 5, 2026 by pg@petergamma.org

For instance an old used Stress treadmill from eBay:

And refurbish it by yourselves. There are many instructions available how to do this. And there are also many used stress treadmills on eBay available.

And to buy an EEG device from Serbia instead of those from g.tec in Austria

But which company who wants to sell EEG devices for physiology produces such promo videos? A video that scares off all physiologists who know about EEG motion artifacts? MbrainTrain offers EEG motion artifact removal. But is what they show in this promo video realistic and tested in scientific studies?

But devices from mBrainTrain are also not optimized for low-cost high-quality. And maybe this setup is sufficient:

Home Lab for Meditators made from OpenBCI, Neurokit2 & ADVG Curved Treadmill handmade in Switzerland?

A setup which is handmade in Switzerland. Since can the meditators for instance in Switzerland who would buy it not be counted on one hand?

Is «Altered Traits» of interest for Swiss physiologists?:

Maybe yes, if they are treated by psychiatrists who do not have to offer a cure for those.

Bus also Cody Rall MD with Techforpsych who tested brain devices from brain scanners to the Muse headband for around 12 years:

He, a highly qualified psychiatrist from the States asks critical questions about these devices.

Although he states they are helpful and useful in at the end of the video. And me, a highly qualified patient from Switzerland who was looking for useful devices for about 10 years and did not find those, is critical about those devices as well. But maybe the time window of our studies still was too short.

Enlightement is something real. Something real for the Swiss champions in meditation such as Lama Pema Wangyal from the Drukpa Center in Kollbrunn. And he seems to be there already. But where are the scientific equipments, and the scientific studies who proof this in depth?

One problem might be, that there are currently for me personally only three meditators in Switzerland which I know which are worth mentioning in this context. If I would do research about it, I eventually would find many more. But still, how to perform scientific studies which might last for 15 -17 years in these cases, with three meditators up to their enlightenment, and how to finance such studies? And for statistically relevant data, we would need around 18 people or more.
