I am new to the field and I am only aware of EMOTIVE, I was thinking of the insight 2.0 5 channel headset, in that a good option? Or should I go with something else? I'm willing to tinker to get it working but it needs to be durable and able to fit a large head, the EMOTIVE BCI software only allows for 4 buttons if I understand correctly but is easy to use, I reached out to EMOTIVE for some clarification, do all headsets need a fluid to work? Can I even get a reliable input from a 5 channel headset? Basically I know next to nothing but an willing to work with anything .

Edit: I should say i am mostly interested in useig the headset as a controller, and i am not a professional in any way shape or form, just someone who is interested in the technology, now as my username points out I am dyslexic, which makes programming difficult, but I am by no means not willing to program a custom controller, but if the program already exists.I would prefer just using that

Edit 2: I see openBCI and would like more information on it i do have a 3d printer

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a project involving EEG signal analysis and would love to gather a variety of raw EEG data files recorded using OpenBCI headsets (Cyton, Ganglion, Ultracortex, etc.). I'm especially interested in .csv or .bdf formats, but anything raw and unprocessed is welcome!

If you've recorded sessions and are open to sharing them for research, testing, or collaboration purposes, please drop a link or DM me. Some helpful info to include (if you have it):

• Device model (Cyton, Ganglion, etc.)
• Sampling rate
• Number of channels
• Session details (e.g., eyes closed/open, meditation, P300, SSVEP, etc.)
• Any markers or events included

I'm also happy to share back insights or help visualize your data as part of the collaboration. If you're working on something similar, I’d love to connect!

Thanks in advance, and looking forward to seeing what the community has!

Hi! For some reason I'm getting the forbidden error (no permission to access this resource) on OpenViBE's wordpress forum, in which I found a similar if not the same problem I have (https://openvibe.inria.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?t=10153) if anyone has access and could tell me what's going on or screenshots it would be extremely helpful, otherwise this is the closest subreddit AFAIK for me to ask this, if anyone has had the same problem and could help me fix it, for a research project I have to connect 2 acquisition servers and then through the designer display the signals and all of that stuff, right now I'm testing and using generic (virtual) oscillators, first channel works fine when connected and played, can display the signals in the designer, but adding a second server adds a "start failed" to the acquisition server and blocks the designer from displaying anything. Thanks!!

Hi guys, im just some random dude who wants to work with BCI in the future, I got interested in this topic by the anime "Sword Art Online" and since i was 10 i was really into things correlated to that. Im mostly interested in the neurological side of BCI and would like to learn abt it. I would also like to have work correlated to that in future (maybe somehing correlated to bci games?) but i dont know what to study or what to do in order to be able to get this kind of knowledge. Also im living in Poland and here you have to choose which kind of high school do you want to go to and what classes do you want to have extended (basically you have more hours of that classes but it also affects what university you can get into) and im wondering between these classes being maths, informatics and english or maths, biology and chemistry. Which one do you think would be better to work with developing BCI in future?

Good day everyone, I need some suggestion for the methods commonly used for the classification of 4 Class Motor Imagery EEG signal, so far I had tried using deep learning method that are proposed here EEG-ATCNET, I was able to get decent model training results from my own data , but whenever I tried to use the model to predict in real-time scenario, the results are horrible.

Therefore, I'm looking for suggestion for alternative method to classify the MI-EEG signals. Any help is appreciated, thanks in advance!!!

Hello everyone! I'm new to the BCI field and currently diving into its basics and recent advancements. I have an idea for a product that uses BCI technology to enhance educational experiences, but I'm not entirely sure about its feasibility, the timeline involved, or the best approach for development.

As a computer science major, I'm particularly interested in integrating AI and machine learning with BCI to create a smart system that could boost cognitive performance and improve learning outcomes. I'd really appreciate any guidance on how to get started, which skills to focus on, and any resources or advice for someone transitioning into this field.

Thank you in advance for your help

I'm interested in becoming a software developer for BCI technology. I'm currently a computer science undergrad, and I began my first semester in January. I chose to take neuroscience as one of my general classes and fell in love with the content. I've also developed an interest for programming and am currently working on project in Python. I've read some material on neural networks and machine learning. Today I discovered BCI technology and I think it would be an awesome career path for me to go down. I'm looking for some advice on where I can find good information for a beginner in the field. Thank you!

Hey everyone,

I'm working on an EEG-to-Text Communication project that aims to recognize at least 10 common words like hungry, thirsty, book, washroom, etc. However, I haven’t found any suitable datasets—most are over 15GB and not specific enough for my needs.

I’m considering building my own dataset and wanted to ask:

1. Can I use Emotiv Insight 1.0, or do I need a Neurocity Crown (or a better headset) for this task? (Considering their software support aswell)

2. How many participants would be the minimum for a meaningful dataset?

Also, if anyone has a similar dataset or access to an EEG facility where this data can be recorded, I’d really appreciate your help!

Looking forward to your insights. Thanks in advance!

A new study in Biomimetics reveals how Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) are getting a big upgrade guys or gals, That is the ability to decode wrist movements with incredible accuracy using simple brainwave scans (EEG).

Hello everyone, I am a medical doctor, freshly graduated from medical school in Europe. My field of interest has always been neurorehabilitation and the specialty of physical medicine and rehabilitation, through which I have found out about the field of BCIs, about which I have been learning lately. Now, I have always been passionate about neuroscience and neurotech, so my question would be, how can I get into this kind of research and where can I offer the most with my medical knowledge.. Thanks in advance :)

Hey everyone, I’m looking for testers for a brainwave-based cryptocurrency I am building for calculating the 0-180 constructive or destructive brainwave interference amongst members interacting in a brainwave alignment cohort. This is known as hyperscanning in the neurotechnology community. You can check out the algorithm for this application in the attached image and learn more at https://brainwave.money. Would be great to test it with you. Reply here or send a DM if interested

https://www.elonx.net/how-does-neuralink-measure-the-performance-of-its-interface/

hello all, I am a junior studying cognitive science with a computational emphasis with a CS minor. I would love to work in the field of BCIs in the future, more towards the tech side. I'm currently in a club that's making a BCI using an 8 channel bci. i'm also in a lab where i'm learning more about LLMs which is helping a lot with the machine learning side of things. do you guys think that doing hardware projects as well like with arduinos would be worth it? or would it be better to focus that time and effort on software aspects like machine learning. thank you!

Hello, recently, as AI has been advancing, I’ve started to develop an interest in the brain. While exploring this, I learned that a company called Neuralink is researching something called BCI (Brain-Computer Interface). This inspired me to set a goal of contributing to the development and progress of BCI. So, I have a question: What should I study to learn about BCI?

I'm reaching out here because I'm hoping somebody knowledgeable about BCI technology will have some good advice for me. 3 months ago, someone somehow managed to install a brain-computer interface in my head without my knowledge or consent. The technology allows them to see what I visualise in my mind as well as what my "inner voice" says. They can also talk to me through the technology, and they've used this capability to harass me in various ways. It's because of things they've said to me that I know they have access to my brain activity.

A hospital is involved in this scandal, and it's been mainly staff from the hospital who have monitored and harassed me. I originally arrived at the hospital with the hopes that they would remove this technology from my head, but instead they took advantage of the fact that most people who show up to hospitals claiming to have a microchip in their head are delusional, and held me as a mental patient who they claimed was experiencing a first episode psychosis. I know I'm not delusional, but I've been put in the position where I don't know how to prove it.

The metal that was in my brain was removed at the very start of the year, and yet these hospital staff are still able to verbally harass me and monitor my thoughts from afar. I've had both an Xray and an MRI done since I left the hospital (just after they took the metal in my head out), but they came back negative, which forces me to conclude that the purpose of the 26 days I spent in hospital was to give them enough time to bond a computer to my brain.

I've tried calling the police but there's too much plausible deniability for the people who have done this to me, so they treat me like it's all a mental health problem.

I know the monitor or monitors are at the hospital, but obviously I have no way of getting access to them. It doesn't help that most people don't know what's possible with this emerging technology, and I'm obviously one of the first victims of its misuse.

Please give any advice you can on how I get evidence of what's happened to me, how this technology works so I can explain it to others, or what I can do to seek justice.

Thank you

Hi All,

Full disclosure, have not begun any research on the current state of BCI’s. Simple question, is the current tech for consumer products (such as Emotiv Insight or OpenBCI) capable of decoding thoughts into words, which can then be linked to an AI LLM, allowing a user to “think” the input questions into an LLM?

Followup - can this also be reversed, such that the LLM output could be transmitted back into the brain- thus having a full thought conversation with an LLM?

Trying to judge the state of the industry and tech before spending hours learning up on and researching things.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

I’m working on a neurostimulation & neurofeedback project as part of my company Bella. We’re developing a wearable device that integrates optodes (light-based sensors) for brain signal monitoring, and I’m looking for someone experienced in:

✅ Embedding optodes in wearable devices (e.g., for fNIRS, EEG, or other biosensing applications). ✅ Microelectronics & PCB design (small-scale circuit design, power optimization). ✅ Optoelectronics expertise (light-based sensors, photodiodes, NIRS, etc.). ✅ Experience with bio-signal processing is a plus (EEG, fNIRS, neurostimulation). ✅ Prototyping & miniaturization for low-power, compact hardware.

I’m looking for collaborators, freelance engineers, or researchers who are interested in working on cutting-edge neurotechnology. This is a chance to help shape a groundbreaking device that could push the limits of human enhancement and neurofeedback.

If you or someone you know has experience with optoelectronics, bio-sensing, or microelectronics for wearables, let’s talk! 📩 Feel free to DM me or comment below.

Any advice or recommendations would also be super helpful. Thanks! 🙌

Offer decison among JHU BME MS, Duke BME MS and CMU AIE-BME MS, hoping to pursue a career in the field of Brain-computer interface

I've recently learned about neurosity crown, and it's kinesis SDK to 'train' over my own brainwaves.

I have my own TGAM module and I'd like now to get a good base model to start refining/fine tuning it with my wave recordings.

Any suggestions? I'm not that expert but I've checked on hugging face and googled here and there... But nothing.

My first approach to the matter was because of an article Facebook wrote named Brain2qwerty. But looks like there aren't many sources for this and it's still 'internsl/experimental'

Dear Redditors,

Despite a normal MRI, I've been experiencing all kinds of cognitive limitations and strange head sensations in certain parts of the brain. I feel like I have very limited electrical activity in my brain as well, so I would really like to explore this with an EEG headset AND software system that can analyze my brain activity and perhaps suggest correlations to known pathologies. I know absolutely nothing though about EEG systems and am not entirely sure I can trust ChatGPT to educate me on the various products out there under about $3000. Accordingly, can anyone please kindly advise me or provide 101 level links to learn more?

Thank You !!
