That neurofeedback specialist in Austin told me I was overtraining my alpha waves
I spent 6 months doing daily BCI meditation sessions trying to boost my alpha wave power. A specialist at a clinic in Austin reviewed my data and said my alpha levels were actually too high, causing drowsiness and slow reaction times. She recommended I focus on beta wave training for 20 minutes instead of 30. After 2 weeks of that schedule, my focus at work improved a ton and I wasn't nodding off during the day. Has anyone else found that balancing different wave types works better than just maxing out one?
