Connection calibration
Before recording, the Muse connection establishes a session-independent reference for EEG band behaviour, estimated alpha peak, resting motion, optical physiology and automated screening thresholds.
MEASUREMENT FIRST
How Threshold sessions are reviewed
The portal is designed to keep recorded measurements, subject observations and later interpretation distinct. Published summaries are derived from synchronized session data, connection-specific calibration and automated screening, and can be updated as analysis methods improve.
DATA FIRST
Continuous multimodal recording
EEG, motion and optical signals are recorded on synchronized timelines. Delta, Theta, Alpha, Beta and Gamma are software-derived summaries of the recorded EEG rather than separate sensors.
Automated state estimates
TRP produces calibration-relative heuristic research scores for meditation-like, focused/active, relaxed-alpha, drowsy/low-frequency and artifact-risk patterns. These are screening measures for comparison, not diagnoses.
Temporal processing
Temporal-processing deviation and the time-distortion research probability are calculated independently from the subject's report. The subject may later record whether time felt faster, slower, expanded, compressed or unchanged.
Physiology
Heart rate and RMSSD HRV are derived from the Athena optical pulse stream. HbO, HbR and Oxygenation are retained as baseline-relative optical research indices rather than clinical SpO₂ measurements.
Markers and artifact context
Manual, system and automatically detected markers are kept distinct. Motion and high-frequency screening are used to flag periods that may contain artifact before stronger interpretations are considered.
Subject observations
Experiences and subjective time-perception reports are recorded separately from instrument measurements so later review can compare what was reported with what the system detected independently.
Controls and repeatability
Experimental baselines, controls, repeated sessions and protocol markers remain central to interpretation. A single correlation, probability score or temporal association is not treated as proof of causation.

BOUNDARIES
What the portal does not claim
The portal can show recorded physiology, EEG-band changes, automated research-state scores, time-distortion probability, subject reports, markers and environmental context. These scores are exploratory and calibration-relative; they are not medical diagnoses, validated population probabilities or proof of an anomalous mechanism. Interpretive conclusions should remain proportional to artifact risk, controls, repeatability and the quality of the underlying signals.
