Store — MindWave
The MindWave Education turns your computer into a private tutor. The headset takes decades of laboratory brainwave technology and puts it into a bundled software package for under $100. It safely measures brainwave signals and monitors the attention levels of students as they interact with math, memory and pattern recognition applications. Ten apps are included with experiences ranging from fun entertainment to serious education. (The MindWave is not compatible with mobile devices like the iPhone, iPad, and Android. - Lightweight - Wireless - Safe passive biosensors - 8-hour AAA battery life - Includes bonus CD with 10 neuroscience apps - Supports Windows XP / Vista / 7 - Supports Mac OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.x, and 10.7.x Hardware Overview: - Portable EEG brainwave headset - TGAM1 module, with TGAT1 ASIC - Automatic wireless computer pairing - Static headset ID - Single AAA battery - 6-8 hours battery run time Included Software: - Visualizer 2.0 - NeuroBoy - MyndPlay Specifications
Bluetooth SMD Module - RN-42
Description: This module from Roving Networks is powerful, small, and very easy to use. This Bluetooth module is designed to replace serial cables. The Bluetooth stack is completely encapsulated. The end user just sees serial characters being transmitted back and forth. Press the 'A' character from a terminal program on your computer and an 'A' will be pushed out the TX pin of the Bluetooth module. The RN-42 is pin a compatible substitution for the RN-41. The RN-42 is perfect for short range, battery powered applications. Supporting multiple Bluetooth profiles such as SPP and HID and simple UART hardware interface, it is simple to integrate into an embedded system or simply connect to an existing device.

Future Applications EmoProfiles The list of potential applications for Affective Computing aka Computing With Emotions is incredible. As the technology develops people will develop EmoProfiles, profiles of their emotional reactions to videos, songs, books, reviews, anything and everything that sparks an emotional reaction (which basically is everything since we are emotional beings). The definition I have come up with for an EmoProfile: “An EmoProfile is a profile that contains data cataloguing your emotional reactions to various stimuli, tagged by keywords and other ontological aids and statistics, in a manner that allows one profile to be compared with another or a group of other profiles digitally by any reasonable computing device.” As adoption of EmoProfiles spreads they will become powerful tools for predicting what someone likes and dislikes, and how compatible people will be with each other and when interacting in a group.

MindFlex xbee eeg hack
Heyo guys, this is my last ultimate hack for the mindflex. I wanted to reproduced the results of the mindflex as indicated by the manufacturer.The simplest test that can be done with an EEG device is to check if the alpha waves go up significantly when closing your eyes. However doing some test with different subjects (i.e. my guinea pig students/friends) and with or without electrogel I couldn’t find any prove that the neurosky chip is working properly. So you take out of the shell 3 wires: black is the GND, blue is the Vcc=3.3V and white is the TTL signal at 9600 bauds. stream directly to the computer and one which uses a xbee transmitter and an xbee receiver. As I said before I totally desoldered the original radio modem that was on the main board inside, as in Figure. What can I do with that? Serial configuration The first configuration is the most dangerous one since you are connected to your computer via the usb without any opto-isolation so DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. XBee configuration
Comparison of consumer brain–computer interfaces
This is a comparison of brain-computer interface devices available on the consumer market. Comparison[edit] Open-source projects[edit] Emokit is an open-source Python library for reading out sensor data from the EPOC (Emotiv Systems) by Cody Brocious. Open-source Matlab toolboxes such as EEGLAB, Fieldtrip, and the Neurophysiological Biomarker Toolbox (NBT) can be used to process data from the electroencephalography. OpenVibe is a LGPL software platform (C++) to design, test and use BCI.[43] The software comes with an acquisition server that is currently compatible with many EEG device including Neurosky Mindset, Emotiv EPOC (Research Edition or above) and OpenEEG. Several open-source computer programs are also available from EPFL's CNBI project.[44][45] The openEEG project[46] has developed several open hardware EEG devices while the OpenBCI project[47] plans to release an open hardware device in 2014.

Fun With MindFlex | 5dacf0154e72d2d055ee3887d97aa6c4
For this valentines day, my wife got me a MindFlex from Mattel. I have been wanting one of these since they have been on the market. It is a really interesting game where you control a foam ball with your mind. The ball will rise with the more focused you are. Letting your mind wonder and as Morphius likes to say “free your mind”, the ball will lower. MindFlex doesn’t read your thoughts, rather it picks up on level of activity. MindFlex uses a NeuroSky chip to compute the brain data. Delta (1-3Hz): sleepTheta (4-7Hz): relaxed, meditativeLow Alpha (8-9Hz): eyes closed, relaxedHigh Alpha (10-12Hz)Low Beta (13-17Hz): alert, focusedHigh Beta (18-30Hz)Low Gamma (31-40Hz): multi-sensory processingHigh Gamma (41-50Hz) Along with connection quality, and the proprietary attention and meditation values. Inspired by Eric Mika’s post, I set out to replicate and extend his project. Basically, you need a shared ground and a wire extending the Tx pin for the NeuroSky chip circuit. Ground Tx Pin Top View

Brain–computer interface
A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a mind-machine interface (MMI), direct neural interface (DNI), synthetic telepathy interface (STI) or brain–machine interface (BMI), is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device. BCIs are often directed at assisting, augmenting, or repairing human cognitive or sensory-motor functions. Research on BCIs began in the 1970s at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) under a grant from the National Science Foundation, followed by a contract from DARPA.[1][2] The papers published after this research also mark the first appearance of the expression brain–computer interface in scientific literature. The field of BCI research and development has since focused primarily on neuroprosthetics applications that aim at restoring damaged hearing, sight and movement. History[edit] Berger's first recording device was very rudimentary. BCI versus neuroprosthetics[edit] Animal BCI research[edit] Early work[edit] 2013: M.
