Why are my delta waves so high when meditating?

Post by Heidi_Lou_Who »

My delta waves are consistently above my alpha waves while meditating. Am I falling asleep? Am I reading the graph wrong? Thanks for any help! :D

High Delta when meditating means you do not have a good sensor connection, sorry!

Grasping Infinity, LOL!
James, could I just ignore the delta waves then? Or does the bad fit render the rest of the data invalid?

More the latter I'm afraid. The other waves will be slightly representative of your actual brainwaves, but how much so would be debatable.

Delta waves: deep state as in sleep and dreaming. Often produced in prayer and meditation but more so meditation.
