Brain Interface Lab

I recently founded the Brain Interface Lab with some colleagues from Parsons MFA Design & Technology and Columbia University. The lab is dedicated to supporting the open-source software and hardware development of brain-computer interfaces. Check out our website and all of the awesome stuff that was created during our first big event titled Hack-A-Brain:

I’m not sure why I haven’t shared the below link yet. It’s skipped my mind for long enough. The site is centered around one of my favorite Parsons D+T courses to date, Post-Planetary Design (yes, I stole the name for one of my blog’s categories).  The course, taught by the great thinker Ed Keller, is a […]

Interactive Android Application for EEG Biofeedback

//–The Code Is On Github!–// [vimeo http://www.vimeo.com/41776885 w=500&h=281] ABSTRACT This post details the research and development of a mobile application which receives and annotates neurofeedback data from a commercial electroencephalography (EEG) device with a single dry electrode. The system is designed to convert any Android mobile phone into a portable storage device that passively records […]
