First trial with EPOC headset device. « BH Digital Media Production// I was very excited to test the EPOC headset and to see what it is capable of. Firstly, I took it out of the box and read through the manual. Before I could start the headset had to be charged and sensors prepared by hydrating them in a special saline solution. I charged the headset with a special usb cable provided. The sensors came packed in a plastic case which is suitable for soaking. After preparing the headset I have to fit it correctly on someone’s head. In order to establish the connection between the headset and the computer I used a supplied USB Transceiver Dongle and placed it into one of the USB slots. In this image I can see that all sensors apart from one are green. I noticed that EPOC must be in field of USB dongle. To test this head device i used two software tools: 1. Here is a small video preview of Mind Your OSC software responding to the headset in use: Here is a video showing how actual facial expressions are being translated onto a 3D model.

So can zapping the brain really induce lucid dreams? TL;DR answer: it’s beginning to look pretty likely. In case you missed it, in 2014 researchers in Germany confirmed that zapping the brain of subjects can routinely induce lucid dreams. (By zapping, I mean applying a low voltage current stimulation to the scalp). She looks well rested. Now, a start up called Aladdin wants to make this technology available for the public. As reported in a recent in-depth interview of CEO Craig Wess of Aladdin, on the Lucid Sage Podcast, this new headband may have perfected the recipe for lucid dreaming on command. Sounds promising, but unfortunately Aladdin just cancelled their Kickstarter when it looked likely the weren’t going to get their funding. Quick and dirty review of lucid dreaming stimulation research Let’s back up, and look at the research again. See that red spot in lucid image? It’s the closest thing to a trigger for “lucidity” yet: the technical method is tACS, or transcranial alternating current. Philosophically, the implications are bold. Dr.
Jitter Video Player Hi I’m a willing-to-learn jitter newbie. I’m am building an app that is going to be the digital version of a vinyl record. …And I’m working on a tight deadline, so sorry for asking stuff I probably eventually could work out on my own… There is produced video material for the entire length of the album, and the app should therefore function as a movie player with a few extra functionalities (full screen view (of the app, not just the video), CD player-like UI, tracklist from which you can choose to listen to a song + links to artist and label sites). The video material exists both as a full length .mov clip and as videos for the individual songs but in order to lessen the amount of data I’d like to use either the full length clip or the individual clips, not both. There’ll be both a pc and a mac version, so no mac-only objects or similar should be used. – Is it possible to assign time-codes to the clip and use connect them to the UI. – Umenu for the tracklist?
Dormio: Interfacing with Dreams to Augment Human Creativity Inspiration Sleep is a forgotten country of the mind. A vast majority of our technologies are built for our waking state, even though a third of our lives are spent asleep. Current technological interfaces miss an opportunity to access the unique, imaginative, elastic cognition ongoing during dreams and semi-lucid states. Scientific Background During sleep onset, a window of opportunity arises in the form of hypnagogia, a semi-lucid sleep state where we al… View full description During sleep onset, a window of opportunity arises in the form of hypnagogia, a semi-lucid sleep state where we all begin dreaming before we fall fully unconscious. Engineering and Experimentation In this project we modernize this technique, using an interactive social robot accompanied with a custom sleep stage tracking system, and auditory biofeedback. This work has been hugely collaborative. If you want all the details, please read this thesis and this paper and offer any feedback!
The next hacking frontier: Your brain? Tomas Vega Here we go Motivation At the beginning of the semester I started playing with a Peltier thermoelectric device. Hardware Design Although I was able to program the BC832 (NRF52) succesfully, I didn't have enough time to get the bluetooth conectivity working. H-Bridge Will showed me the DRV8838 and I bought them. After many failures, I thought I was about to get it fabbed correctly. Tag Connect Sam recommended me to use the tag connect to program my board. Vias Great resource by Amanda! Postprocessing Make sure that all images have the same margin on both sides. The horizontal distance between both sides of the top plane polygon and the sides of the board contour must be the same. Eagle also exports the design 2 times bigger.
