Yes, I used various EEGs, but none of these. “Thought control” is over-hyped. Very basic units with 2ch aren’t much use except for basic biofeedback. (I have one somewhere that I was given and never got any use from) Biofeedback is valid and has utility e.g. for ADHD.
The DIY Neuroscience Pro Kit looks pretty cool for £149. It doesn’t include a cap though and it’s not clear what analysis software is used with this. Setting up a test is a lot of work - placement, gel etc. I’d start by looking at the software to use with this.
I have an emotiv research edition headset and considering hacking it to upgrade the battery, it’s 14 channels I think. The saline solution can corrode the pads so it requires proper maintenance.
It came with some machine learning and it was possible to move objects in space by training the data sets, unfortunately it became a subscription model I don’t know how much opensource apps can get the raw data from this headset but it should work
It could also recognise some facial expressions with the software platform, it was all emerging as a platform, I think being able to capture raw data, it’s the basis of doing experiments and analysis
Was considering it for making music, but more interested in using it for case study while listening to music
Brain control involves repeatedly thinking a control feature and machine learning the dataset, not sure what the optimal amount of channels required for that
Hello! New member here - definitely interested in this - I teach Games Development and have been meaning to play around with this kind of kit for experimental projects!
From a brief look, Chords looks very basic. Have you seen it being able to do what you’d like to be able to do?
An alternative is MNE - far more functionality, but much much greater complexity. We had techs looking after this when running EEG experiments. I expect it would be a steep learning curve. Maybe AI could help? See what you think from tutorials etc.:
The Emotiv system would probably be a lot less of a headache. If Zach would lend his and Emotiv could be pursuaded to give us a freebie software subscription, that might be the best.
I will look for the old software that came with it, before it went subscription, they sold the epoch research headset with access to raw data, whereas their lesser models came with helpful apps and stuff
It is higher priority now, I’m still working on my flat, will have a good sort and be back soon regards loaning the headset to the space, there are consumables, the felt pads and the sensors corrode if they are not looked after properly
