At school I finally got around to reading the Emotiv documentation, and a final chance to play around with the SDK. First I jump right in head first with the Emotiv headset, make sure the sensors are well connected, and launch the Control Panel for the SDK. I open the test program to watch my brain waves, and frequencies bounce as I think, from waves to neutrality. Under the cognitive tab, i trained my thoughts and put them to the ultimate test by manipulating a 3D cube on the screen using my thoughts alone. I was able to push, pull, lift, drop, rotate, and even make the cube disappear.
Human thought is powerful.
For a future project, I plan to create a robot that can be moved around using the users thoughts alone. I’ve been experimenting with the SDK so much. Not long ago, a group of Dartmouth students created an iPhone app using Emotiv that allows one to dial numbers using their thoughts alone. The applications are endless.
