Cortex overview

Here is how our Cortex applet works

Developer Support

Use the force

Using an Emotiv Insight, a Sphero BB-8 Droid and IoT services on Bluemix, Joshua Carr demonstrates how you can use your mind to move BB-8 Droids.

DJ Fresh & mindtunes

DJ Fresh collaborates with three physically disabled musicians to create a musical track with just the power of thoughts.

Attention Powered Car

An Attention Powered Car was created to raise the issue of driver inattention and road safety. The car features an EPOC headset that connects brain activity to the car’s engine via customized software. When the driver’s level of attention drops, the car safely slows down, alerting the driver to their lapse in concentration.
