NeuroSky Technology Overview - Brainwaves & ThinkGear

Brainwaves

The last century of neuroscience research has greatly increased our knowledge about the brain and particularly, the electrical signals emitted by

line of headset products contain NeuroSky ThinkGear™ technology, which measures the analog electrical signals, commonly referred to as
brainwaves, and processes them into digital signals. The ThinkGear technology then makes those measurements and signals available to games and
applications. The table below gives a general synopsis of some of the commonly-recognized frequencies that tend to be generated by different
types of activity in the brain:

Brainwave Type Mental States & Conditions

Delta 0.1Hz to 3Hz Deep, dreamless sleep, non-REM sleep, unconcious

Theta 4Hz to 7Hz Intuitive, creative, recall, fantasy, imaginary, dream

Alpha 8Hz to 12Hz Relaxed (but not drowsy) tranquil, conscious

Low Beta 12Hz to 15Hz Formerly SMR, relaxed yet focused, integrated

Midrange Beta 16Hz to 20Hz Thinking, aware of self & surroundings

High Beta 21Hz to 30Hz Alertness, agitation

Frequency Range

ThinkGear

ThinkGear is the technology inside every NeuroSky product or partner product that enables a device to interface with the wearers’ brainwaves. It
includes the sensor that touches the forehead, the contact and reference points located in the ear clip, and the on-board chip that processes all of
the data. Both the raw brainwaves and the eSense Meters (Attention and Meditation) are calculated on the ThinkGear chip.

NeuroSky Technology Overview - eSense

eSense

the raw brainwave signal and removes the ambient noise and muscle movement. The eSense algorithm is then applied to the remaining signal,
resulting in the interpreted eSense meter values. Please note that eSense meter values do not describe an exact number, but instead describe
ranges of activity.

eSense Meter - General Information

The eSense meters are a way to show how effectively the user is
engaging Attention (similar to concentration) or Meditation (similar to
relaxation).

Like exercising an unfamiliar muscle, it may take some time to gain full

We recommend trying different tactics until you are successful with
one. Once you see a reaction on the screen from your efforts, you will
be able to duplicate the action more easily with additional practice.

Generally, Attention can be controlled through a visual focus. Focus on
a singular idea. Try to “funnel” your concentration and focus your train
of thought towards pushing up the meter. Other suggestions include
picking a point on the screen to stare at or imagining the action you
are trying to accomplish happening. For example, look at the Attention
eSense meter and imagine the dial moving towards higher numbers.

20

eSense Meter - General Information (Cont.)

For Meditation, it typically helps to try to relax yourself. Connect to
a sense of peace and calm by clearing your mind of thoughts and

eyes, wait a number of seconds, and then open your eyes to see how
the meter has responded.

patient. Try different techniques and practice. Also be sure to read and
try to understand the Technical Description in order to get a better
idea about how eSense actually works under the hood.

NeuroSky Technology Overview

- eSense

eSense Meter - Technical Description

For each different type of eSense (i.e. Attention, Meditation), the
meter value is reported on a relative eSense scale of 1 to 100. On
this scale, a value between 40 to 60 at any given moment in time is
considered “neutral” and is similar in notion to “baselines” that are es­tablished in conventional brainwave measurement techniques (though
the method for determining a ThinkGear baseline is proprietary and
may differ from other methods).

A value from 60 to 80 is considered “slightly elevated”, and may be
interpreted as levels tending to be higher than normal (levels of Atten­tion or Meditation that may be higher than normal for a given person).
Values from 80 to 100 are considered “elevated”, meaning they are
strongly indicative of heightened levels of that eSense.

Similarly, on the other end of the scale, a value between 20 to 40
indicates “reduced” levels of the eSense, while a value between 1 to
20 indicates “strongly lowered” levels of the eSense. These levels may
indicate states of distraction, agitation, or abnormality, according to the
opposite of each eSense.

The reason for the somewhat wide ranges for each interpretation is
that some parts of the eSense algorithm are dynamically learning and
at times employ some “slow-adaptive” algorithms to adjust to natural

for the fact that brainwaves in the human brain are subject to normal

ThinkGear sensors are able to operate on a wide range of individuals
under an extremely wide range of personal and environmental condi­tions, while still giving good accuracy and reliability.

ATTENTION eSense

The eSense Attention meter indicates the intensity of a user’s level of
mental “focus” or “attention”, such as that which occurs during intense
concentration and directed (but stable) mental activity. Its value ranges
from 0 to 100. Distractions, wandering thoughts, lack of focus, or anxi­ety may lower the Attention meter level. See eSense Meter - General
Information for more details about interpreting eSense levels.

MEDITATION eSense

The eSense Meditation meter indicates the level of a user’s mental
“calmness” or “relaxation”. Its value ranges from 0 to 100. Note that
Meditation is a measure of a person’s mental states, not physical levels,
so simply relaxing all the muscles of the body may not immediately
result in a heightened Meditation level. However, for most people in
most normal circumstances, relaxing the body often helps the mind
to relax as well. Meditation is related to reduced activity by the active
mental processes in the brain. It has long been an observed effect that
closing one’s eyes turns off the mental activities which process images
from the eyes. So closing the eyes is often an effective method for in­creasing the Meditation meter level. Distractions, wandering thoughts,
anxiety, agitation, and sensory stimuli may lower the Meditation meter
levels. See eSense Meter - General Information for details about
interpreting eSense levels in general.

Troubleshooting and Support

The MindWave does not turn on.

The battery might be low. Please try replacing the battery and try again.

The signal quality status is consistently poor (fewer than three bars).

Check that the forehead sensor and each clip contacts are making good contact with the skin. Make sure to remove all obstructions including hair
and jewelry.

It usually takes three or four seconds for the headset to validate the signal after holding still. Also make certain to keep the sensor and contacts
clean.

The eSense meters do not move.

Be sure to allow several moments for the eSense meters to go through some self-calibration and initialization before troubleshooting. If the meters
still do not move after 10 seconds, make sure the sensor rests on the skin of the forehead and the contacts are on the skin of the left ear. The
