It does show up, but it isn't really useful. At best, you can read some basic level of attention or "powering down". Here's a video of Ken Wilber hooked up to one. (I'm not defending Wilber or his claims, just wanted to show a simple demonstration.) I vaguely remember some material on that topic (I think by Persinger or one of his students), but no actually exciting result.
(I'm getting a Zeo in a few days and will experiment a bit myself.)
That's interesting, thanks. The worst case scenario for these meditation claims is that there's nothing much going on except delusions from constant wishful thinking, but being able to dampen brainwave frequencies at will might be some non-subjective evidence indicating that there's some genuinely nontrivial skill being built here.
