Help with "Control Arduino Using Your Brain and OpenBCI“ tutorial

Hi there, greetings from Hong Kong!!!
We are following the "Control Arduino Using Your Brain and OpenBCI“ tutorial, and I found myself lost at the point where I should set up the electrodes for making use of the Focus Widget.
Do I setup up four electrodes at Fp1, Fp2, TP7 and TP8, as shown in one of the pictures in Step9 of the instructables?
Please give us some pointers, as we are new to this.
Many thanks.

It is now much clearer to beginners like us.
We had things setup exactly as what is stated in the tutorial, and are now learning to toggle the Focus Widget with the brain waves.
I personally find it takes some practices to maintain in the unfocused–state -- but I thought that was the "easier" part
I understand that you guys stated that "mediating" with the eyes closed could help bringing the brain in the focused state -- that pretty much works every time with the eye closed, and alpha wave increased. But, we are looking for things that we could do to maintain oneself in the unfocused state.
I will continue to experiment more on this myself, and also with some other colleagues.
Ultimately, we are hoping to use the Focus Widget controlled Arduino to control some remote toys, shown in some of the other tutorials.
Interesting stuff, indeed.
Thanks again.
