There's a "non-invasive" brain-computer interface on the market. It's a little less ambitious; targeted towards people who practice meditation. https://en.wiki

- kruhft 10y agoThere is also Emotiv: www.emotiv.com
- nylonstrung 10y agoThis just EEG which has been around forever. I wouldn't call that a brain-computer interface
- iamcreasy 10y agoEEG is a brain computer interface. There has been many BCI projects that uses EEG.

- komali2 10y agoWhat's the point of this thing? See if you're meditating right? Anybody know if it works? Could be cool if I could meditate "good" or "not good" in order to turn a light on and off, or turn on my cat feeder or whatever lol
- jdpigeon 10y agoTheir app does a fairly impressive job of giving feedback to help you stay on track during meditation. However, the cool thing about Muse, IMO, is that it's cheap, comfortable (moreso than the Emotiv), gives reasonable signal quality, and has a free SDK for developers. Brain-connecting devices even if they just use EEG open up a lot of doors for interesting products. Assisting in meditation is a great idea, but there's got to be a lot of good BCI ideas that we probably just haven't thought of yet.
- mattkrause 10y agoThere are a lot of these kicking around. It's a very bare-bones EEG system: the Muse has 4 channels and a few references; EMOTIV has either 5 or 14. The slick part is that they use "dry" electrodes, which do not need to be filled with a conductive gel before use. The signal from wet electrodes is still a bit better (less noise, etc), but the gel is fairly gross to have in your hair.

- ExactoKnight 10y agoI saw a professor demolish one of these devices by simply instructing his students using it to "think" without moving their eyes or eyebrows. At that point the device stopped working, because not surprisingly the action potential in our faces muscle movements far exceed anything the brain produces in terms of EEG signals when measured from our skin. Trying to read brain signals from a skin-based EEG device is like trying to listen in on a conversation being had inside a packed sports stadium while you fly over it in a helicopter.
