 # *NeuroFit*  for Open BCI
 
-## Motivation behind creating NeuroFit
-Your brain produces 4 different types of waves and one of them is Alpha. These waves are often assiciated with meditation and deep states of calm. Increased Alpha waves are know to produce incleased relaxation, resolution of long-entrenched trauma and recovery from substance abuse (when coupled with professional psycotherapy). Training Alpha waves is a process that is as simple as meditating. To train alpha waves you"ll need an EEG machine, which is available for masses and doesn"t require medical licence. You simply connect the EEG electrodes to your head and meditate. When you see an Alpha waves burst, remember what you thought about what state your mind was in and do it again. At the moment this simple and non invasive training is not widely available, when it schould be accessible from the comfort of every person"s home. That"s why I created NeuroFit.

-## What"s NeuroFit
-NeuroFit is a real-time brain waves visualizer and Alpha wave neurofeedback training app, that is designed to work with your **Android device** (phone, tablet, etc.). Simply download NeuroFit from Play Market and plug in your 8-channel Open BCI EEG machine to start. The app has 3 brain wave **real-time visualization modes*:

+NeuroFit is a real-time brain wave visualizer and Alpha wave neurofeedback training app, that is designed to work with your **Android device** (phone, tablet, etc.). Simply download NeuroFit from Play Market and plug in your 8-channel Open BCI EEG machine to start. The app has 3 brain wave **real-time visualization modes*: 
 1. All waves - displays all the brain waves in 
 2. Alpha waves - displays Alpha waves, that were filtered from all waves
-3. Alpha Envelope waves - displays only Alpha amplitude

 ## How to use it?
-NeuroFit serves as a data visualizer and as Alpha waves trainer. To start a training session, I recommend to follow the steps below:
-1. Connect electrodes in the following color order on the Open BCI boadr.
-*****IMAGE of the OPEN BCI electrode connectors******
-2. Connect the Open BCI to your head in the following order.
-*****IMAGE - perhaps a giff of the colored wires conecting to different brain locations (O1, O2, etc.)******
-3. Hit the buttion "Start Real-time streaming".

+3. Hit the button "Start Real-time streaming".
 4. During your setup use "All Waves" mode to make sure that all the Open BCI electrodes are well connected.
-5. Use the calibration bar to zoom in or out of the visualization  graphs.
-6. When your are ready to start your training session, hit the button stat Audiofeedback.

 7. Close your eyes and meditate.
-8. The app will produce calming music, if it"s too loud adjust the volume on your device. The music will play louder when NeuroFit detects an Apha wave burst.

 ### Goal: Try to get the music volume louder with your mind.
