I wrote a new plugin that outlines breathing patterns that can be followed with no need for any hardware. This is my first test run; the line shows the level at which my lungs were filled. The selected minute shows a brief inhalation with the heartbeat climbing to distribute the fresh air, then a long retention and finally an exhalation to a ratio of 1:4:2. I managed to keep this up for a good 30 minutes.
Strangely enough, my heart rate went up over the course of the session. I counted 62 beats in the first minute and 71 beats in the last. I guess I need to keep practicing! Then again, considering that I had less than a breath per minute for over half an hour, it is a good start.

How did you measure the effectiveness of this data? Do you have some other instrument by which to gauge how accurate this plugin is with regard to how well it tracks breathing?
Also, from this, can you discern the level of oxygen, or some other analogous measure of amount of air being breathed in (or out) ?
The pranayama plugin is just a virtual input device that plots a line to show the level at which the lungs should be filled and how long the breath should be retained. It outlines breathing patterns that can be followed with no need for any hardware. The first exercise is to inhale for 8 seconds, hold for 32 seconds and exhale for 16 seconds (a ratio of 1:4:2).
So the data is only a very rough measurement of the strength of the heartbeat in relation to the breathing exercise as measured from the accelerometer in the headband. An oxymeter would add real value. Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths, enwrought with golden and silver light, I would have – and build, all sorts of other instruments.
