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 allow 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 brainwave centered current commericlal 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 !


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 to assess hardware reliability and results statistic analysis

ART

- DialogueS, EEG project
- Mind controlled...

Submit welcomed ideas or volunteer your brain spare cycles !
