This blog is a little overdue. After SGP I worked with a few guys on coding programs which use the Emotiv API and SDK. This technology reads brain waves and creates a profile for a user of the headset. IThe system is trained to the user and then sends out messages with data representing the user’s current mental state. Emotiv recognizes facial expressions, actions (such as push, pull, lift, and rotate) and levels of frustration and meditation. David Griggs, Mac Rechelt, Steve Broyles and I were lead by one of our lab instructors, Sean Hathaway.
Steve, Mac and I worked on a Meditation app which shows a candle with a flame that responds to the user’s level of frustration and meditation. The larger level of meditation the user emitted would cause the flame to grow. The larger level of frustration the user emitted would cause the flame to look like it is being blown by wind. Jim Bochanski did the art for the candle. It was a very interesting experience and we all learned a lot and would love to work with the Emotiv in the future.
