Inspiration
MUSE reads you brain, and gives you a ton of data given you muscle and your brain activity. What if we make it do things around the world just with a thought.
How it works
The Muse raw data is parsed by a node server, which in turns does real time data analysis to try and detect common and simple brain activities. Clenching your jaw, blinking, looking left.
Challenges I ran into
Integrating into API's and the use of semaphores in real time data analysis. Reading other sorts of brain activity that wasn't EEG was actually hard due to the non-tranquile work environment, but that's ok!
Accomplishments that I'm proud of
I have created algorithms to actually detect accurately when a human (or at least me) looks to the left. This and many other algorithms are actually based off of a larger algorithm which works on parsing and analysing 'recently occurred data' while the data streams in.
What I learned
-How to communicate via the OSD protocol -How to use Muse -How to read brain waves and brain activity
What's next for Controlling the World with your Brain
Next is making an easy library where you can state the action, and then write code for each of those functions. For example, onLookingUp(callback); which would call the callback if you in fact looked up. It makes the possibilities endless.
