Frequency (Hz)
10.0 Hz
Delta → Theta → Alpha → Beta → Gamma (tempo of cognition).
Bandwidth (spread)
6.0 / 10
Higher = more competing channels / more variability.
Signal amplitude (salience)
0.35
Higher = the “target” pops out more easily.
Squelch (gate threshold)
0.55
Higher = filter more (less intrusion), but subtle signals can disappear too.
