To be honest, it wasn't very intuitive to get used to Waverox and their app at first. Initially, you have to position the device correctly to connect all the electrodes (this is actually the first time I’ve thanked God that I'm bald). You need to put it on, then adjust and move it a bit to get a better connection with your skin. After that, you go through the calibration process (close your eyes for 30 seconds), and then you’ll need some time to figure out how to use it. But once you get the hang of it, you'll be amazed.
These tools (apps + device) are simply remarkable. The number of functions is incomparable to competitors. It offers not only meditations (as you can do with muse) but also tools to improve your work routine, letting you know when you need to take a break or return to work. You can determine which activities truly give your brain a rest and which just continue to overload it. You can train your focus or calmness, check in real time how loaded your brain is with tasks (I was astonished that this thing actually works in real time), and even find out if your brain is ready for creative or thoughtful tasks now (this is the first thing you see after the calibration process, which is smart). Plus, you can collect all the raw data, export it to Excel, and analyse it in your own way.
So, I think this is one of the most powerful tools to understand your brain at home on the market right now. Yes, you need to invest some time to understand how it works, but it’s worth it.
