I have mixed feelings overall with the technological aides available for meditation now. I think they are causing more people than ever to take up the practice which is great.

I bought one of those $300 headbands that "monitored your brain wave" while meditating and had all the apps. A chapter or two into the book I realized how ridiculous it all was. They might have helped establish a habit, but I was never going to progress very far while using them.

I'm guessing based on the price point that I helped build the SDK for the headband you bought. :)
The headband was actually very cool by the way, and I do believe it worked as advertised. I'm just not convinced it's a great method method to learn meditation.
