Feature Request: Delayed Recording

Still loving the app. You know what would be an awesome option? Delayed Recording. Just like some option you can turn on that will start the recording in 15 seconds.
Every single recording has a spike at the first, then simmers down, because your eyes are open and moving and then your body is moving (putting the phone down, etc.) So the phone has "bad" (irrelevant) accelerometer and gyro and brain wave data. If we were just given even 15 seconds to put the phone down, close eyes, get situated, the data would be cleaner.
Also the same spike happens at the end too. Even worse at the end because you open your eyes, start to move, find your phone, pick up your phone look at it, orient the phone, then turn it off. etc.
I just think it would be useful to have an option to cut off the first and last 15 seconds of data, so the data, when analyzed, is just truer and cleaner.
Yes, yes, I know I could just go into excel and delete all that data each time. But if ALL the recordings have this problem (when/if you are doing this solo - which I suspect is the majority) I think the option would be useful to turn on or off if desired.
