For generations, scientists have wanted to look through the skull of a functioning brain. Not surprisingly, this was literally done by a scientist named Hans Berger, who recorded brain pulsations through a hole in the skull of one of his patients and published a monograph of his studies in 1904.
Luckily, we now have harmless ways to record brain activity. They are more accurate (and much less painful) than Berger’s experiments and provide helpful insight into the brain as a whole.
You’re probably familiar with the word EEG, which is short for electroencephalogram. It is a device that detects electrical activity by simply placing electrodes in contact with the scalp. Each electrode is very sensitive to changes in voltage and detects neural oscillations that we translate into brainwaves.
But we can go one step orward by recording the brain’s electrical signals and correlating this data with other measurements. That is what the WAVi machine does. It features an EEG scan, heart rate variability measurements, visual and auditory ERP (event related potentials), and much more. Altogether, a WAVi machine gives you a comprehensive insight into how your brain works and reacts to different stimuli.
