The electrode was placed at the Fp1 position, and the subject's brainwaves were measured for 11 to 12 minutes for each activity.



Brainwave Types (Wikipedia)


Alpha: 8 Hz to 12 Hz, associated with relaxation


Lo-Beta: 12 Hz to 15 Hz, normal waking consciousness


Beta: 15 Hz to 18 Hz, normal waking consciousness


Hi-Beta: 19 Hz to 25 Hz, normal waking consciousness


Gamma: 26 to 100 Hz, associated with perception  and consciousness and higher mental activity
