I don’t remember for sure, but weren’t we interested in EEG at one point?
I’ve been snooping around and I think that there are some low cost options available.
I might put some money towards them, I’ve been reading about brain entrainment and wouldn’t mind doing some experiments. But I can’t justify buying a machine just for me.
Thoughts?
Daryl has been experimenting with his brain-controlled helmet.
This looks relatively inexpensive and promising.
I found something called OpenBCI. Much more expensive, but it’s open hardware so it may be easier to fool around with.
I’d be interested in seeing what Daryl has been doing.
He lives in the A/V room, and I think his helmet is in there, too.
Interested and actively working on something similar. Let’s talk.
Specifically I am working in my own EMG stuff for school and have an EEG/EMG shield. I’m also familiar with how to do the measurements.
As I mentioned in another thread I ordered the EMG shield kit and a few other items(Backyard. Brains), including a TEMS unit.
I would be happy to donate these Items to the Science comitte for a group project and they could remain for future experiments.
I am really interested in seeing what it feels like to have someone else control my hand.
Oguz & Gentlemen,
Okay, you have my attention.
I am now working on my Biomedical Engineering degree and have a keen interest in Human Physiology signal monitoring. I know BioPac has a EEG setup, but it is pretty pricy. I saw what I believe is the Arduino Shield that you and Walter are referring to (Duinopeak ECG/EKG/EMG Shield for Arduino?) so I would be interested in looking at that.

The Brain Sensing Headband looks like it uses a somewhat similar concept used in the Star Wars Force Trainer that came out several years ago with the technology developed by a company called Neurosky:
and in fact if you Wiki Neurosky, you will see that the parent company for the Headband, InterAxon, develops custom software for the hardware made by Neurosky:
No wonder it looked so familiar.
BTW Oguz, what school do you attend?

That shield you referenced isnt the one I am talking about.
Here is the site I am talking about
backyard brains.
And a blogwith them discussing their stuff.
Thanks. I’d like to see us do some interesting projects in this area.
Great,
The last of the items I ordered for this should arrive today. I picked up a TENS 3000 unit for sending the motor control signals to the hand, and the following items from Backyard Brains]
DIY Muscle SpikerShield
Large Muscle Electrodes
So, whenever we can schedule a get together to assemble and test these would be great! Or if you prefer I can assemble the DIY board myself and we can focus solely on combining it with the TENS unit and the experiment discussed in the links above. Just let me know!
and for future potential projects I ordered two of their bare circuit boards
El Cheapo (I believe a device for controlling bugs neurosystems)
and the El Cheapo Muscle SpikerShield (This is the same board used in the item above)
A nefarious use of this device to ensure male fidelity:

If you think it takes a gadget to make love hurt you have never met the women I’ve dated.
