Here is a full interpretation of the three-page Panaxtos BQ2 Brain Wave Report for Rukhsana Mehdi (DOB: 1989.05.02, Female, 55 kg / 158 cm, Blood type A, non-smoker, no alcohol, no medications — recorded 2026.05.17 at 15:23).

What the BQ2 system measures
The BQ2 device is a commercial consumer-grade EEG headset developed by Panaxtos (South Korea). It records raw brainwave activity from left and right scalp electrodes and uses proprietary AI algorithms to calculate "Brain Quotient" scores across multiple mental and physiological domains. The basic rhythm here is 10 Hz alpha bilaterally (left: 3.06 µV, 0.94; right: 4.13 µV, 0.94) — this is a normal, healthy dominant alpha frequency for a resting adult, consistent with standard neurophysiology.
Alpha waves (8–13 Hz) constitute the dominant brainwave of the normal eyes-closed awake state, typically around 50 µV at scalp. — Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology
2D Spectrum (Eyes-Closed vs. Eyes-Opened)
| Eyes Closed | Eyes Opened | |
|---|---|---|
| Absolute voltage Raw | Left 53.0, Right 74.2 | Left 96.7, Right 99.7 |
- Eyes closed: Dominant peaks in the alpha band (8–13 Hz) — normal. A slightly higher right-side amplitude may reflect right-hemisphere tendencies.
- Eyes opened: The spectrum shows a clear alpha suppression shift (typical: alpha drops when eyes open as the brain enters beta-dominant alerting mode). The higher absolute raw voltage here likely reflects artefact or a mixed frequency state captured during the measurement.
The brainmaps (colored circles for Delta, Theta, Alpha, SMR, Beta, BetaH, Gamma) show:
- Eyes closed: Alpha is visibly dominant (largest colored circle)
- Eyes opened: Alpha decreases; Delta and Theta contributions relatively increase — this can indicate mild drowsiness or a relaxed, somewhat inattentive state
Domain Score Panel (Right side of Page 1)
Scores appear to be on a 0–100 scale, with green bars = better, pink/red = lower performance:
| Domain | Score | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|
| Cognition (Cog) | Rate 29, Score 29 | Moderate — cognitive alertness is around average |
| Sleep | iR Block: -28/18, Score 31 | Below average — possible disrupted sleep-related brainwave patterns; low iR blocking suggests reduced restorative sleep regulation |
| Emotion | Rate 18, Score 82 | Good — emotional brain regulation appears relatively strong |
| Behavior | Rate 20, Score ~80 | Good — behavioral self-regulation brainwave patterns are positive |
| Stress – Body | 13 | Low/concerning — body-level stress markers are low (could reflect fatigue rather than relaxation) |
| Stress – Mental | 12 | Low — similarly low mental stress indicator |
| Stress – Score | 24/25 | Overall stress score is modest; interpreted as low stress or possible emotional blunting |
| Attention – Distracted | 9 | Low distraction — focus tends to remain |
| Attention – Tension | 25 | Moderate tension in attention processing |
| Attention – HyperAct | 6 | Low hyperactivity — no ADHD-type signal |
| Attention – Score | 33/38 | Average attention |
| Balance – Raw | 17 | Left/right hemisphere balance raw score |
| Balance – Band | 11 | Low interhemispheric frequency band balance |
| Balance – Score | 73 | Good overall balance |
| Connection – Coh | 97 / 74 | Very high coherence — excellent inter-hemispheric neural connectivity |
| Connection – Score | 84 | Good neural connectivity |
| Self-Regulation – Alpha | 9/26 | Alpha self-regulation is low to moderate |
| Self-Regulation – SMR | 10 / 21/28 | SMR (Sensorimotor Rhythm, 12–15 Hz) is moderate |
| Self-Regulation – BetaLow | 13 / 21/28 | Low beta regulation is moderate |
| Self-Regulation – Score | 24 | Below average self-regulation capacity |
| Severity | 61/65 | This is in the "light" to near-"heavy" range — suggesting mild-to-moderate overall brainwave irregularity |
Training recommendation: Alpha — the system suggests alpha wave neurofeedback training, aimed at improving relaxation, focus, and emotional regulation.
Page 2 — 3D Spectrum
The 3D frequency-time-amplitude spectra for left and right hemispheres show:
- Multiple sharp peaks concentrated in the low-frequency range (roughly 2–12 Hz, visible as the tall red/orange spikes toward the front of the 3D surface)
- The peaks are prominent and clustered, suggesting the brain shows bursts of high-amplitude low-frequency activity (delta/theta/alpha range)
- The right hemisphere spectrum mirrors the left closely — consistent with the high coherence score (97) on page 1
- The large amplitude peaks (reaching up to ~50 µV) in the alpha range are expected in a resting state; however, the delta/theta spikes visible in both channels warrant note — in an awake adult, excessive delta or theta can indicate drowsiness, fatigue, or reduced cortical activation
Theta waves occur normally in children; in adults they appear during emotional stress or disappointment and frustration, and in many brain disorders. Excessive theta in the waking EEG suggests a pathologic process. — Kaplan & Sadock's Synopsis of Psychiatry

항목별 측정 결과 요약 — "Item-by-item measurement result summary"
| Item (항목) | Score | Status |
|---|---|---|
| 스트레스 (Stress) | 24 | Orange bar — Poor/Below Average |
| 수면 (Sleep) | 31 | Red bar — Very Poor |
| 인지 (Cognition) | 29 | Green bar — Good range |
| 주의 (Attention) | 36 | Green bar — Good range |
| 자기조절 (Self-Regulation) | 24 | Orange bar — Poor/Below Average |
Emotion & Behavior Gauges
- 정서 (Emotion): Score = 2, classified as 명랑 (매우나쁨) = "Cheerful (Very Bad)" — counterintuitively, the needle sits at the extreme left (score 2 out of the range), pointing toward 우울 (depression). The label "명랑 매우나쁨" likely means the system detected very low positive emotional tone.
- 행동 (Behavior): Score = 2, classified as 소극 (매우나쁨) = "Passive/Withdrawn (Very Bad)" — behavioral engagement is at the low end, suggesting introversion or reduced initiative.
뇌균형 (Brain Balance) & 뇌동시성 (Brain Synchrony)
| Score | Interpretation | |
|---|---|---|
| 뇌균형 Brain Balance | 73 — 보통 (Normal/Average) | 뇌; 논리전사고, 언어, 기억 — Left-right brain balance for logic, language, memory is average |
| 뇌동시성 Brain Synchrony | 84 — 좋음 (Good) | 좌뇌와 우뇌의 상호 협력성, 뇌의 효율성 상태 — "Left-right brain mutual cooperation and efficiency" is good |
Overall Summary & Clinical Context
| Strength | Concern |
|---|---|
| High neural coherence/synchrony (84–97) | Sleep quality score very poor (31) |
| Good emotion & behavior wave patterns | Stress regulation below average (24) |
| Good brain balance (73) | Self-regulation low (24) |
| Normal alpha dominant rhythm (10 Hz) | Emotional gauge shows very low positive affect |
| No hyperactivity signal | Sleep and mood-related patterns flagged |
Key takeaway: The brainwave data suggests this individual has good underlying neural connectivity and coherence, but shows signs of poor sleep quality, low stress resilience, reduced self-regulation, and low emotional positivity as measured by the BQ2 proprietary scoring. The system recommends Alpha training (neurofeedback) to strengthen relaxation, emotional balance, and self-regulation.
⚠️ Important disclaimer (also stated at the bottom of page 3 in Korean): "These results are used as indicators of health risks through brain waves. To confirm a more accurate status, please consult a specialist." The BQ2 is a consumer wellness device, not a clinical-grade medical EEG. Scores should be interpreted as general wellness indicators, not diagnostic findings. Any concerns about sleep, mood, stress, or cognition should be discussed with a physician or neurologist.
