Which tells you b***** all,

Thought it might. I seem to remember it was fashionable back in the 1970's in the meditation/alternative medicine world, but I'm half asleep at the moment, so I could be misremembering.

I did query the researcher on that a bit but he's a computer scientist and I think is just taking the stated outputs of the headset at face value.
OK this makes more sense. But surely there are better patient populations for this given that we do not have any objective correlates to relate to.A lot of the questioning revolved around how much trust I had in the sensor readings and it's accuracy.
Before this relapse I'd have agreed with you. I thought I had it all sussed. But now I'm struggling to get a handle on it. The last 6mths have been awful with being more or less stuck in bed at my worst. Last 6wks been better and more predictable and I thought I'd cracked and then the last 3 days have been my worst in months, for no obvious reason. I was hoping it might shed some light on it all for me. No luck though.I have personally found not much usefulness out of one given that I generally feel the effect of doing too much and don't need confirmation, but maybe it's not as clear with everyone.
Isn't this a bit late? as the study was being done between August and October 2019.I've been sent this by the researcher himself. It looks 'reasonable' but obviously I'd encourage anybody considering taking part to read all the detail provided, including the files attached to this post.
For further details and contact information see the attachments, Participant Information Sheet - Summary gives an overview, Participant Information Sheet gives more in depth detail.
As he contacted me less than a week ago my guess is he has struggled to recruit patients and so it's still ongoing.Isn't this a bit late? as the study was being done between August and October 2019.
Granted, I am moderate-severe, ~99% housebound but have never been bedbound. But then anyone who can participate in such a study is unlikely to be this severe so it wouldn't really be applicable.Before this relapse I'd have agreed with you. I thought I had it all sussed.

I don't understand what makes this academic research rather than market research for some electronic devices of no known medical validity. The brain wave device looks complete quackery.
I think this is a group who are studying how people interact with technologies and the different interaction styles that work for people with different abilities. Its an important area of work in terms of getting new styles and designs of how people work with computer systems and how this can changes as new technologies happen. There is a degree of cognitive science here in terms of trying to match the interfaces to peoples mental processes and models (or that is how I understood it from someone who worked in the area).

This is definitely not intended as market research for the device. The device itself is an example of a commercially available sensing technology and we are interested in hearing people's opinions about how such devices may be useful (or not useful), and how they interpret the data that it provides.
my PhD itself is funded by a "University Research Studentship Award".
So activity monitors if they work or say something useful and agregated multi sensor views could be useful here,
It was fashionable in the 80's and 90's in language learning - Superlearning, Accelerated Learning, the Lozanov method, etc etc. I did very well out of that for 5 years, after writing The TiredSam English Language Course based on Superlearning principles and selling and teaching it to some multi-national corporations. It ended when I was fired by a new personnel manager who was worried about me using cult-like practices in the classroom (what's wrong with asking everyone to lie back and close their eyes whilst my voice flows into their subconscious?).
