Good times! I also used the Mindflex hack[0] for an artsy piece in 2012. I attached it to an RF module (with a JeeNode[1]) and used the "attention" levels to control the playback speed of my hacky video player (zero attention -> 0.0x speed, full attention -> 2.0x speed). Worked great for the price!

- summarity 2y agoYes, that was it! I used the same hack in 2012. Fun story: as a prize for winning the science fair with my robot arm, I got to go to Munich to visit ASDEX Upgrade (fusion experiment). I was staying there for a week and just spent each day with a different department. They have a post-lunch lightning talk thing where interested people gather in a lecture hall with a cup of coffee to listen to a random talk. I was asked to demonstrate my project last-minute but did not have time to ship all the stuff to where I was. I had the headset though (an upgraded NeuroSky model). So I spent the night hacking away at a demo project that just involved kicking a virtual football (soccer) into a goal. So at some point in 2012 there was a room full of nuclear scientists watching a teenager kick a virtual ball with "their mind". I just find that amusing.
