The Emotiv system is a EEG headset designed for the development of brain-computer interfaces. It uses 12 dry electrodes (i.e. no gel necessary), communicates wirelessly with a PC and comes with a range of development software to create applications and interfaces. If you watch this 10min video from TEDGlobal, you get a good overview of [...]
Also tagged concepts, emotiv, physiological computingI’d like to begin the new year on a philosophical note. A lot of research in physiological computing is concerned with the practicalities of developing this technology. But what about the conceptual implications of using these systems (assuming that they are constructed and reach the marketplace)? At a fundamental level, physiological computing represents an extension [...]

In my last post I articulated a concern about how the name adopted by this field may drive the research in one direction or another. I’ve adopted the Physiological Computing (PC) label because it covers the widest range of possible systems. Whilst the PC label is broad, generic and probably vague, it does cover a [...]

I attended a workshop earlier this year entitled aBCI (affective Brain Computer Interfaces) as part of the ACII conference in Amsterdam. In the evening we discussed what we should call this area of research on systems that use real-time psychophysiology as an input to a computing system. I’ve always called it ‘Physiological Computing’ but some [...]

If your in the vicinity of San Diego this week be sure to check out Mattel’s MindFlex and Uncle Milton’s Force Trainer at the Sand Diego Comic-Con (23/7-26/7). MindFlex and Force Trainer are brain wave controlled toys developed using Neurosky’s BCI headset + development platform. Each toy implements a simple BCI mechanic: leviatate a ball [...]
