Mind Control? Hardly.

It's hardly mind control because I'm using the accelerometer from the Emotiv EEG to manipulate servos in the wrecking crane. The lego tower that's on the board will rebuild itself if I'm too frustrated. The following picture and video shows the result of five days of work (more updates to come as I have time to work on this project):

  1. Hey,

    Great project! Will you post any tutorials?

  2. Yeah! That's a good idea and I can definitely do that, but I'm pretty busy right now. I won't be able to sit down and write up something official looking anytime soon.

    At its most basic, I'm using Processing to interface between the Emotiv headset and the Arduino. The Arduino's code is waiting for servo degrees, and Processing is waiting for key commands from Emokey. There's probably a better way to bundle it all together, but I have the free version of the Emotiv SDK so I won't be able to manipulate their code into my own programs. Did that make sense?
