Our sensor technology records these neural signals, inputting them into our ThinkGear chip. Signals are amplified, filtered, and processed by our patented algorithms. The measured electrical signals and calculated interpretations are then output as digital messages to the computer, toy, or handheld device, where you see them on the screen, or where they are used to affect the device's behavior." It's still a pretty new technology. But pretty cool! Thanks for stopping by. Sean Hey Derek,

Seems a little hocus pocus to be honest, but I haven't really delved into it.

This is an open source API that’s freely available. The API simplifies the process of working with lower level Socket and ByteArray objects. The API is pretty straight forward to use. You basically register to listen for events that are broadcast by the Mindset. The listeners will receive the meditation, concentration, signal quality and EEG data that the Mindset captures from your brain. The most useful information is the meditation and attention levels. It can be used to create all kinds of interesting applications (games, etc.). Brain Computer Interfaces are starting to gain popularity and become more mainstream. The Mindset is still a little pricey so the developer pool is somewhat limited, but it’s a very interesting space to watch and be involved with.

My question is if I can adjust your lib for capturing Eye Blinking? Hi Shaun,

Just checked out your lib for a concept I want to realise for the Neurosky contest (they just started off) http://company.neurosky.com/blink-of-an-eye/

Your lib works great, thanks very much.

My question is if I can adjust your lib for capturing Eye Blinking?

Have you run into examples that explain how you can build your own bci mindthing by any chance? All it takes i guess are a bunch of electrodes? I recall taking a look at that some time ago. Anyway, very exciting :). nice video Sean, very cool stuff.
