Yeah, I guess they would need to find a less intrusive way to be able to
measure these particular brain waves...if that's even possible. I assume
that the waves they are studying are so specific (from certain areas of
certain parts of the brain e.g.), that external electrodes would not be able
to detect and separate the waves necessary for this kind of study....?
