Goals
This project was my bachelor thesis for BSc. Creative Technology, Enschede, the Netherlands. The hypothesis is that individual users can control their mindsets better if they have a visual representation, similar to how people can control better their facial expressions when in front of the mirror. The project was done with openBCI. The software was two parted: 1) Brainwave detection (high-low Alpha and Beta brainwaves) and 2) Visualisations created in Processing, openFrameworks as rapid prototype testing and the final experiment in Unity3d.
The goal of this project was to explore applications for non-medical use with Brain-Computer-Interaction. This presented a challenge to adequately create an interactive experience to demonstrate the technology for the general public. Interaction methods had to be developed and decision of how BCI can be used. For that project, I used Brainwaves bands and brain states as an input method, delivered from raw EEG data analysed in Real-time. The full thesis can be found here.
