Melon: A Headband and Mobile App to Measure Your Focus by Melon. DARPA combines human brains and 120-megapixel cameras to create the ultimate military threat detection system. After more than four years of research, DARPA has created a system that successfully combines soldiers, EEG brainwave scanners, 120-megapixel cameras, and multiple computers running cognitive visual processing algorithms into a cybernetic hivemind.
Called the Cognitive Technology Threat Warning System (CT2WS), it will be used in a combat setting to significantly improve the US Army’s threat detection capabilities. There are two discrete parts to the system: The 120-megapixel camera, which is tripod-mounted and looks over the battlefield (pictured below); and the computer system, where a soldier sits in front of a computer monitor with an EEG strapped to his head (pictured above). Images from the camera are fed into the computer system, which runs cognitive visual processing algorithms to detect possible threats (enemy combatants, sniper nests, IEDs).
In short, CT2WS taps the human brain’s unsurpassed ability to recognize objects. Brain-computer Interfaces and the Social Order. Roland Schiefer October 15, 2012 Brain-computer interfaces are entering the mass market.
Their current uses are either benevolent or harmless and they open a wide range of fascinating opportunities. However, they also pose serious risks that need to be identified and handled for the future. MyndPlay - Mind controlled movies and video training platform. How to hack EEG toys with arduino.

Health : Breakthrough: sensors that can convert thoughts into speech. A mind reading machine has edged closer to reality after scientists found a way of converting thoughts into words.
Researchers were able to render brain signals into speech for the first time, relying on sensors attached to the brain surface. The breakthrough, which is up to 90 percent accurate, will be a boon for paralysed patients who cannot speak and could help read anyone’s thoughts ultimately, reports the Telegraph. “We were beside ourselves with excitement when it started working,” said Prof Bradley Greger, bioengineer at the Utah University who led the project. EmSense comes up with EmBand device to track your brainwaves as you watch TV. By Daily Mail Reporter Updated: 07:02 GMT, 18 April 2011 Would you feel comfortable if market researchers could know your every thought?
Scottish scientists make 'mind-reading machine' breakthrough. Scottish scientists have come a step closer to creating a "mind-reading machine" that can show mental images.
A team from the University of Glasgow have successfully decoded brain signals related to vision. Six volunteers were shown images of people's faces displaying different emotions such as happiness, fear and surprise. In a series of trials, parts of the images were randomly covered so that, for example, only the eyes or mouth were visible. Participants were then asked to identify the emotion being displayed while electrodes attached to the scalp measured the volunteers' brainwaves. The scientists were able to show that brainwaves varied greatly according to which part of the face was being looked at. Pretty pictures: Can images stop data overload?
16 April 2012Last updated at 19:01 ET By Fiona Graham Technology of business reporter, BBC News Brain scan: Research suggests that one way to avoid being overloaded by data is by presenting it visually rather than text or numbers Sitting at your desk in the middle of the day, yet another email notification pops up in the corner of the screen, covering the figures you're trying to digest in the complicated spreadsheet in front of you.
Arduino Assisted Mind-Controlled TV Using EEG « Paul's Projects. I have finally gotten around to re-writing some of my old code and re-recording a proper demo of controlling physical objects using thoughts by interfacing an EEG headset with an Arduino. While this technology is interesting and exciting, before anyone sees this as an endorsement for this particular EEG headset, I strongly recommend reading my full review of the device below.
Those of you who have no interest in purchasing such a device can simply enjoy the show :D. Basic EEG Concepts: Note: if you’re already familiar with EEG I recommend skipping this paragraph and going straight to the video. From Wikipedia: “Electroencephalography (EEG) is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp produced by the firing of neurons within the brain.” In medical applications EEG is used to detect conditions such as epilepsy by recording and observing electrical activity from the brain that travels along the scalp. Fast forward several months to July 2009 Defcon 17, Las Vegas 2009. DIY Muscle Sensor / EMG Circuit for a Microcontroller. Measuring muscle activation via electric potential, referred to as electromyography (EMG) , has traditionally been used for medical research and diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders.
However, with the advent of ever shrinking yet more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits, EMG circuits and sensors have found their way into prosthetics, robotics and other control systems. Yet, EMG systems remain expensive and mostly outside the grasp of modern hobbyist. How to hack EEG toys with arduino. QDS System.

OpenBCI: An Open Source Brain-Computer Interface For Makers by Joel Murphy & Conor Russomanno. In addition to EEG circuit design, we’ve been busy attacking the EEG headwear design challenge from an entirely new angle.
Throughout the design process, our goal has been to find a solution that is truly customizable while still taking into account cost, comfort, and signal quality. The reason we think customizability is such a key to the advancement of BCI is because the field is very new and evolving so quickly; there are still so many unknowns in other aspects of the overall BCI design challenge.

Many people are interested in what is called neurofeedback or EEG biofeedback training, a generic mental training method which makes the trainee consciously aware of the general activity in the brain. This method shows great potential for improving many mental capabilities and exploring consciousness.
