A New User Interface
Easy to use, wireless EEG technology is creating new possibilities for human interaction with machines. EMOTIV’s devices convert brain waves into digital signals that can be used to control anything that speaks in 1’s and 0’s.
Control with Thoughts
EMOTIV’s Metal Commands algorithm recognizes trained thoughts that can be assigned to control virtual and real objects just by thinking. Brain control can replace traditional input devices like keyboards, enhance interactive experiences and provide new ways for the disabled to engage with their surroundings.
Integrate Emotions
With EMOTIV’s Performance Metrics, an individual’s real time cognitive and emotional state can be used to passively modulate an application. Adapt a VR experience based on a user’s engagement or change the difficulty of an interactive training application based on focus levels.
Endless Applications
Brain computer interface (BCI) directly integrates our thoughts and emotions with the technology we use everyday. Whether commanding drones or wheelchairs, creating music or art, or adapting digital experiences to real time emotions, the interface between the brain and computer has never been easier.Acura’s immersive, full-sensory virtual driving experience is controlled by 30 emotional, cognitive and physical inputs to create a unique environment with landscape, color and music changing in real-time to reflect the driver’s moods.
Lisa Park demonstrates and explains her interactive installation “Eunoia II”. “Eunoia II” is a performance with using EEG (brainwave sensor) headset to obtain real-time feedback of her brainwaves and emotional reactions. Park is using emotional values (data) picked up by the EEG headset, which then gets translated into sound waves that create vibrations in the pools of water placed atop speakers.
In this proof of concept, Philips teamed up with Accenture to show the potential of using brain control technology to activate Philips smart products around the home. The proof of concept software connects a wearable display with an Emotiv Insight Brainware headset to show how a person with severe mobility restrictions, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and other neurodegenerative diseases, could regain more independence.
Using EMOTIV’s Mental Commands algorithm, participants at CES 2015 were able to control and race robotic cars with their minds.
EEG can be a vital component for the development of assistive technologies, such as Prose:Think to Speak, a mobile application that uses EEG to trigger speech.
Recommended hardware
We recommend the Insight headset for most BCI applications like gaming and interfacing with the Internet of Things. With a setup time of about 1 minute, you can get to controlling devices with minimum hassle.
For more complex applications, like BCI for communication or mobility, we recommend the EPOC+ headset. With 14-channels, the EPOC+ gives you a dense array of sensors with around 5 minutes of setup time.
Recommended software
Mental Commands is our easy to use mobile application which lets you practice moving virtual objects with your mind.
Control panel is our desktop application that allows you to train multiple Mental Commands as well as access real time Facial Expressions, Performance Metrics and Internal Sensor data streams from your headset.
