Ez robot supports more robots than robodance and more features - by a large factor. I've researched many videos and robodance and a few eeg headsets. I do not see the value in them yet. Maybe someday

@DJ

That guy was having problems getting the needle past 60 . so how do ya ask the robot to get a beer?

oh and dont forget the nacho's

DJ the robots controlled by EEG will only add to the lists of more robots controlled like robodance is 13 robots and the list gets bigger and bigger ,just like with any software

get a beer can most likely can be done,it has a lots of sensor controls,just depends on the software

I kinda meant if it was so hard to move a needle on the screen , how do you give the multitude of commands to do a real task , in somthing like a reasonable time.

I know the tech is still new and will get better in time but that stinks ( "at the moment" ).

PS I think at the moment you are better off with a wimote .

EEG headset is brand new idea,your brain has so many nero centers and we only tapped a few if you look at the sites the headset is mostly for gamming,just like KINECT started out for gamming and now its used for robots,so is the EEG headset,i think soon what every your brain can think of it can almost do.but the EEG headset does need training i am looking to make a telementry suit using it,plus video headset to see,bought some flex sensors to make a VR glove,next is EEG headset and low cost video glasses i may use the EZB for my telementry suit or arduino,since there is code for arduino for EEG headset most likely will use that UNTIL DJ make a interface to EZB

right now i see the headset is used in wheelchair designs to help the handicap people

soon i see in the future i see each person having a headset on and reading each others mind and thoughts

I have a nintendo power glove from the game master competition =) does that count?

Fascinating discussion!

I agree with DJ in that about the only things one can voluntarily do with their EEG focus and space out. I've been researching with EEG for 19 years. We can reliably detect positive and negative emotions as well. One could have far more control over a robot through eye movements than through their EEG. The main reason for this though I suspect is that all EEG filters are based on FFT. FFTs are designed for stationary signals like a tuning fork. The EEG frequencies change in frequency and amplitude dozens of times per second making the only EEG filters used very crude. Yet they work well for training the brain to improve functionality through EEG biofeedback.

Yet if we incorporated Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) into the filtering process of the raw signal we would be able to decipher the EEG into the packets of information the brain uses to transmit through various centers. A college of mine, Carl Pribrum, told me that some parts of the brain receive communications from other parts more quickly than would could be explained by signals sent through neurons. He agreed it was possible that EEG transmissions could be transmitted and received like radio transmissions thus bypassing nerves. For more details you can read a paper I published last year on the EMD as part of what's called the Hilbert Huang Transform in the Journal of Neurotherapy. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10874208.2011.597260#preview

I also have some c open source code from Nordin Huang the creator of the Hilbert Huang Transform. To process it in real-time would require translation into a GPU language like CUDA. If you have a hacked neurosky unit that delivers raw EEG let's connect and see what we can build? Machine learning algorithms might also simplify things considerably.

The EEG equipment our company uses is BrainMaster and costs $1800. I'm quite pleased with it and have a dll for the BrainMaster software that we could incorporate with the manufactures permission.

power glove is a great for hacking to make a VR glove to make a good telementry suit,you need eye control.EEG HEADSET AND VR glove
