It's a repeat question With added Inform

• Can a normal EEG measure gamma waves? Technically yes, but routine clinical EEGs are not reliable for accurately measuring meditation-related gamma activity. Gamma is easily contaminated by muscle movement and noise. • Can EEG show if meditation is “working” vs placebo? No. EEG cannot tell whether meditation is effective or placebo. Benefits are judged by symptoms, attention, emotional regulation, sleep, and functioning, not EEG patterns. • Will a Government Hospital psychiatrist recommend EEG for this? Very unlikely. EEG is prescribed for seizures, altered consciousness, or brain pathology — not for monitoring meditation. • If done privately, cost in India? Routine EEG: ₹1,500–₹4,000. Advanced research-grade EEG / qEEG (needed for gamma): ₹10,000–₹25,000+, usually not clinically useful. EEG is not a valid or practical tool to assess meditation quality. Track progress using attention span, emotional stability, ADHD symptoms, stress levels, and daily functioning instead.
