Meta project involving hardware and software in 3 different major fields : Science / Computer Interface / Art

The current Allinone homebrewed software is made in Rebol and called "Jackson". A specific version "Jackson LIVE" is a "sequencer" style live tool available from 1 to zillion brains, for art performance, cooperative "construction" (graphics, sound, command,...). The Rebol option was chosen for dead simple portability and to interface seamlessly local and Internet connexions.

Currently supported hardware is the Mindset.


HARDWARE

  • Designing new acquisition devices (efficient, easy to wear, affordable) : Near Infra Red, EEG, Magnetometers, MRI compatible,...
  • Designing signal analyzing electronic boards : FFT, FPGA,..
  • ...

Real brainwaves centered current affordable commercial offers are either too simple (Mindset : ONE dry sensor) or required complex setup (Emotiv: several WET sensors).

BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE

  • Computer, robots,... command.
  • Help disable people.
  • Whatever you want : the geekier, the better !

Goals : a reliable ON/OFF button and a scale model (1...10) by cognitive task and interfacing with real world (TCP connexion).


SCIENCE

  • Neurosciences : dedicated software for brain functionnal imaging : MRI, near IR, EEG.
  • Large sets of brain generated data available in CSV file format.

Current steps are : designing experimental tests and results statistic analysis to stronger assess hardware reliability. Current recorded datas are several days long.

ART

- DialogueS, EEG project
- Mind controlled...
