But basically, start laying down the future steps toward eventually attempting to reliably detect REM sleep, and cause a range of user-specified actions to occur in response. Next stage will depend on the earlier ones. ![]() ![]() (I'll probably start by just letting the user type in and store JavaScript code that has access to the data and API, since it already has a JavaScript interpreter for the React Native UI client there will of course be presets for common tasks like just having an audio file play when REM probability crosses some threshold) Next stage will be starting work on basic functions of a lucid-dreaming headset-linked app, such as some basic data display (ie graph), and starting work on some sort of in-app scripting to process and respond to the data. This step will just be having fun and seeing what's possible with the device in terms of sensitivity, and reflection of my mental state as I feel it internally. There's an equivalent one built for desktop too. Most interesting is an app for Android that shows realtime data from the headset in a nice graph form, and allows you to output to csv. Here is the GitHub repository for the project-open-sourced under MIT, and built with React Native (currently bare-bones, of course): Īs for the app design: this is where it gets exciting, because there's a lot of different things we can try with raw access to a five-electrode EEG device.įor starters, I'm going to try out the small set of apps currently available for the platform. And as a software developer, I've started designing an app for it. With the above five points in mind, I bit the bullet and have ordered one, despite not having much in way of extra funds. * It lets you work on your software for the device "out in the open" without fear of them disapproving at some point of your third-party (ie unauthorized) software. (having a clean API, set-up instructions, and such) * It's faster to get up and running with software for it. * There will always be a viable way to get the device input, even if they update the firmware or communication pathway. ![]() * The company's investing more in the long-term. Again I can't link to it, but if you're a software developer, this is a big deal because it means: (not that I hate Kickstarter I'm a fan, but its projects can get out of hand sometimes)ĥ) Lastly, and very importantly: there's a rich and easy-to-use SDK for the device! When I saw this part of their website, my interest immediately increased. No years-long wait times while a Kickstarter campaign's dev-updates inch forward. Here's one such review: Are there any affordable biofeedback devices? - Brain Health - LONGECITY (this is supported by screenshots and a video for a Muse Android app elsewhere, showing graphs of data from the device they're dynamic, and don't seem like merely noise)Ĥ) It's available commercially, today, for anyone to purchase. But it has five electrodes (5 times as many as most such devices in its price range), and from the couple of reviews I've been able to find, the electrode sensitivity seems good. I say "relatively", because I imagine it's still a far cry from medical-grade devices. (compared especially to full-head devices like OpenBCI)ģ) Appears to have a relatively high quality sensor system. It could probably get a good ways better (eg the Aurora and NeuroOn masks seem better suited for sleeping), but it's at least viable. (You can get it for $211 with a referral code.)Ģ) It's open-backed, and uses dry electrodes, so has lower hassle for use while sleeping. Starts at $250, and doesn't require any other purchases, as far as I can see. I thought the same a few hours ago, but then I took another look, and the more I think about it, it actually fulfills most of the things we'd want in a device.ġ) Low cost. However, I think most people aware of it have underestimated its suitability as part of an EILD setup. (would link, but then would need to get permission first, and that takes too long ) It's the Muse headband, which has been referenced on these forums already. Many of you are probably already aware of the product I'm referencing. ![]()
