Scenarios for Neurosky

Post by esajno »

Hi!
I'm a student of psychology and I'm planning my master thesis.
I'd like to make a low-cost BCI's project, using your program and a NeuroSky's hardware (probably the MindWave).
I have not good abilities in software writing, so, is there already a scenario for the NeuroSky's hardware?
And, if it's not, have you suggestion, please?
Thank you so much,
Elena

Hi Elena, welcome on the forums,

The Neurosky hardware should be compatible with openvibe (a driver exists in the acquisition server).
However some users recently reported incompatibility issue with the MindWave (and unfortunately I don't have the device myself to solve it).
Be warned though : in my opinion the EEG signal won't be perfect, and you won't be able to achieve good performances on complex EEG processing using that kind of device.

You can start by using the given scenario (in share/bci-scenario/box-tutorials) to discover openvibe.
Then move on to the bci examples for more complex use of the software.

We don't provide dedicated scenarios for the Neurosky, I'm sorry. You can try to adapt the existing ones.

As a general purpose advice, I have to warn you that we (Inria dev team) won't provide support for understanding how a BCI or signal processing should work.
I hope people around here in the community can help you more on this side :)

If you have trouble using the software, we are here to help of course.

Happy new year!

Thanks for the advice and for answering.
I haven't yet a precise project but I imagine that it would be really simple.
I'll be back soon to beg other suggestions :D
Bye,
Elena

Hi,

first of all thanks for this wonderful software - it seems to be all I need to pursuit a few ideas. You are writing that the signal of a neurosky headset won't be the best - have you had any experiences with open/modular eeg? Do you think that I could get better results with those than with the neurosky?

Hi mimi,

We don't have a modular EEG in our lab... and never tried one.
I honestly don't know which one can give you the best results.

Many people around are using the open EEG devices....
Anyone around here can give us some feedback on this EEG and its performances ?
