Brainwaves
Originally uploaded by mikeysklar
Years ago, while living in NYC, I saw a EEG being used to read brainwaves at a dorkbot talk. The idea of using brainwaves to control things in the physical world was appealing to me, but I never managed to pull a project off. Part of the problem was the the Open EEG project had so many different variants and technical hurdles that prevented me from getting started. Recently a new generation of childrens toys have been released such as "The Force Trainer" from Uncle Milton. The hacks are already coming out for reading the ASCII data from the device yielding information about attention, concentration and the headset connection. We will take apart my unit soon enough.

whoa! that's really cool--I didn't know there were dry sensors. I did an EEG experiment for cash a while ago and at the beginning I got to see all of the 40+ channel outputs...I was surprised at how much blinking messes things up.
