## What is The Star (XVII)?

Muse 2016 is highly recommended!
Muse 2 can work well when saline fluid is applied to the electrodes, for example Contact Lens Solution by Renu
Muse S has good signal quality but poor coherence measurements

The Star is like a brightness dial for the imagination. It uses advanced neurofeedback to help users develop the focus necessary to overlay the physical senses with any image, sound, sensation, smell or taste they wish. It measures the stability and the complexity of the visualization by measuring the frequency and cross-hemispheric synchronization of brain waves.

Please provide gamma neurofeedback , specifically on left hemisphere. In my practice and research that area is where all training ought to be concentrated

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.0.0 — 2025-01-02

Revamped to use SwiftUI
Much better signal processing
Includes calculator for mental math

### 1.7.0 — 2022-09-27

Much improved feedback protocols. Now combines frequency and cross-hemispheric synchronization metrics. Added stability feedback protocol which measures stability of focus.

### 1.2.0 — 2021-12-06

Developed a new strategy for neurofeedback that focuses more on the steadiness of focus. This has helped me to visualize at a level where the visualized object is as vivid as the physical object!

### 1.1.0 — 2021-09-30

Ensure that users have good signal strength before allowing them to begin a session
Don't crop the coherence graph so much

### 1.0.4 — 2021-09-17

Fiddling with parameters
