Video of my BCI in action
O.K. Here it is. This video shows me demoing my initial Brain Computer Music Interface. There are many ways that I can improve this system (it’s still a bit slow at the moment), but I think it demonstrates the potential of the idea well enough. This video was difficult to make because someone was playing unbelievably loud Keane-esque power ballads on the frickin’ piano next door. Those of you who have experience with EEG will no doubt find this most amusing.
If you are having problems seeing it, there’s a youtube version here
Even in it’s current state, I’ve been able to use this setup to program a step sequencer. With a bit of speed improvement, I’m sure it could be used as a real-time instrument by the physically disabled. I’m writing this up at the moment and should have a paper on-line soon.
