maybe BUT it looks like it may have potential tho. although on a humorous note. i was wondering this today. if say you were usign this in a game. say bf2 for example ;) anyhow. say you're doing whatever it is you are sposed to be doing. then think to self " man id like to look at some good porno or somehting. i wonder how this system as well as the game would react

[labobo]

The sensors are still too crappy

ok, i have a theory that i hope to hell comes to light. thumbs up if you agree. a brain mapping device that can receive your thoughts then re project them which would create a completely controllable dream and be the true virtual reality

@Inversions51 Nope, electrical activity is detected from the scalp (fascial muscles). In a medical EEG these are called "artifacts" and get filtered out, watch this clip which explains what artifacts are and where they come from @ youtube(dot)com/watch?v=6qWYcr­fr7pk#t=180s.

Instead of filtering, emotiv uses them for their Expressiv suite and perhaps for the other 2 as well.

stephan hawking needs one

@Inversions51 & using the saline solution causes the electrodes to get a stronger signal then if you used just water or something because it conducts the electrical waves better

[Inversions51]

@ducky102 you got it wrong lol it detects facial movements yes but it does it through detecting brain waves that change as you move different parts of your body it uses a Gyro so you can have even more functionality it uses the wet saline solution to prevent it from losing a physical contact with your scalp, like an ultrasound. i researched EEG and learned a lot about it and a friend had a medical one, one time. they actually glue the electrodes to the scalp so be glad all you use is saline sol.

They are fakers! I have found out that most if not all functionality in the expressive suit comes from measurements from facial muscles not brain waves (smiling dude demo).

The headset detects muscle movements from the face. The movement of the head is detected with a gyro. They never mention that in the clip. It is also very difficult to ascertain how many sensors are EEG and how many are fascial muscle sensors.

Also they still use crappy wet sensors, which means you must use a saline solution.

woww, the girl is hot!

dude, we should be able to build a game in which the camera adapts to where the user is looking. I also have some thoughts about the intensity and direction control problems. The uses are endless though.

@starwarstrilogyfan gaming? try the world...
