Emotiv Epoc Laser Muscle Control Test and Target Practice 2

Control of the laser is accomplished via muscle control using an Emotiv Epoc, Emokey, and the Epoc control panel. When I blink hyperterminal sends a 'l' to the arduino hooked up to the servo which turns left. When I smile it send an 'r' to the arduino and the laser turns right. I know I know, I said thought control, but I wanted to make it move....under control. Oh ya, the servo and arduino are from sparkfun.com.

I dont think you need a brain-computer interface device to control anything with that enthusiastic smile of yours.

On a serious note, how about some push and pull actions, to maybe control a continuous rotation servo in forward and reverse directions?

I didn't have much luck with the cognitiv stuff. Muscle control had the best results.

@beatfield hey dumbass u just complimented his smile. also, how bout you buy ur own and then program it... oh wait :)

@nu3dvu quit trying to play with other ppls toys over the internet you child

[astcomjakecw]

@askdrax wut the hell is wrong with you

[nu3dvu]

Consider! Left blink = Left turn, Right blink = Right turn. Head back = Laser up, etc.

I don't have my Epoc, yet. But thank for the proof of concept.

Did you notice that your 'interest' in the YouTube audience had an effect on the behavior of the device? Did it have a noticeable impact on the way that the device perceived (if I may use the term for a machine...) your intention?

Did you record other videos? Was the effect on the device notably unique in any way for this particular video?

I heard you say to me "Stop talking so it works" in subtle language when you began this video :) (ask me about that, if it interests you)

this.... makes everything i have ever lived for... totally worth it.

I'm so stoked for this to become mainstream.
