OpenEEG project
Listening to: Wire - Strawpeople
Found this over at pasta
and vinegar. The Open EEG Project:
Many people are interested in what is called neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback
training, a generic mental training method which makes the trainee consciously aware
of the general activity in the brain. This method shows great potential for improving
many mental capabilities and exploring consciousness. Other people want to do experiments
with brain-computer interfaces or just want to have a look at their brain at work.Unfortunately, commercial EEG devices are generally too expensive to become a
hobbyist tool or toy.The OpenEEG project is about making plans and software for do-it-yourself EEG
devices available for free (as in GPL). It is aimed toward amateurs who would like
to experiment with EEG. However, if you are a pro in any of the fields of electronics,
neurofeedback, software development etc., you are of course welcome to join the mailing-list
and share your wisdom.Right now, this site is mostly about the hardware; schematics, part lists, building
instructions etc. However, a few members have developed some useful software which
is hosted on their own websites. You can find these through the software pages.
I know, based on my last post, that I shouldn’t be surprised by this project… but
still… cool!
