Project Details

Research in neurological imaging has led to the development of MindSet, a low-cost neuro-mapping electroencephalograph (EEG) that can support such activities as image 2D and 3D topographic visualizations, perform neurometric analysis, and provide MIDIbot(tm) feedback and neural network feature extraction through a light and sound machine interface. 
 
"MindSet's primary focus in this exhibit is man/machine neural interfacing. Using the neural-event and gesture-recognition functions, in combination with the MIDIbot(tm) interface, users can control a MIDI synthesizer and laser light show. Users also learn to recognize the appearance of various neurological events as they are visualized on the topographic display."
