I spent the day messing around with 1.75mm conductive ABS BuMat filament, trying to create a 3D-printable EEG electrode. The long-term goal is to design an easily 3D-printable EEG electrode that nests into the OpenBCI “Spiderclaw” 3D printed EEG headset. I decided to try to make the electrode snap into the standard “snappy electrode cable” […]
Read MoreOver the course of the late summer and early fall I worked extensively on the OpenBCI Graphical User Interface (GUI). The first version of the application, as seen in [Image 2] below, was developed by Chip Audette, who is one of the biggest OpenBCI contributors and runs the amazing blog EEG Hacker. The GUI is developed […]
Read MoreI wrote the following article which was published in Volume 41 of Make Magazine! Conor wears an early prototype of the OpenBCI 3D-printable EEG Headset. During this summer’s Digital Revolution exhibition at London’s Barbican Museum, a small brainwave-influenced game sat sandwiched between Lady Gaga’s Haus of Gaga and Google’s DevArt booth. It was Not Impossible […]
Read MoreThe following images are a series of sketches, screenshots, and photographs documenting my design process in the creation of the OpenBCI Spiderclaw (version 1). For additional information on the further development of the Spiderclaw, refer to the OpenBCI Docs Headware section and my post on Spiderclaw (version 2). If you want to download the .STL files to print them yourself or […]
Read MoreROB3115 is an interactive graphic novel that is influenced by the reader’s brainwaves. The experience is driven by the reader’s ability to cognitively engage with the story. ROB3115′s narrative and its fundamental interactive mechanic – the reader’s ability to focus – are tightly intertwined by virtue of a philosophical supposition linking consciousness with attention. ROB3115 […]
Read MoreI 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:
Read MoreProject Summary This project relates to the brain-computer interface work I’ve been doing for my thesis. As I will soon be creating generative animations that responds to brain activity, which are part of a digital graphic novel, I wanted to do a prototype of a visually complex animation that was dependent on a person’s brain […]
Read MorePlease take 10 seconds to vote for my New Challenge application: Despite being rather silent on this blog recently, I’ve actually been quite busy. My ongoing thesis at Parsons MFA Design & Technology is an exploration of practical applications of wearable brain-computer interfaces. More on that to come. Recently, some fellow designers, engineers, researchers, and […]
Read MoreJust found out that my friend Jeremy and I made it into the New School newspaper last May, after being asked what our plans were for the summer! It’s amusing to compare a prior perception of a future level of achievement to an ex post facto critique on the same success state. The “graphic novel” […]
Read MoreA CBCNews article reveals: “Researchers [from the University of Western Ontario London] have discovered they can detect conscious awareness in some patients thought to be in a permanent vegetative state using an inexpensive EEG device that measures electrical activity in the brain.” Credit should be given to principal researcher Dr. Adrian Owen of the Centre for Brain and […]
