Hello everyone.
I'm an independent (read: self-proclaimed) researcher of BCI technology. Currently I'm leader of a small group of students trying to develop software that would allow using the motor cortex to control a virtual avatar.
We are using Emotiv EPOC+ as the EEG reader, and I'm currently trying to compile OpenVibe from as the signal processing system. It seems that OpenVibe is not a very well-supported system, I had to tweak a lot of make files to get the build to progress, but it relies on some outdated components, I'll probably have to downgrade to VS2010 and give it another try.
But so far all we have is a few programs that can read raw EEG data from the EPOC, reformat it and log the channels of interest, and perform some simple filtering, such as median filters.
Our team is also researching methods and concepts of controlled paralysis, and recent information from an active medical doctor on Germany seems very reassuring - it seems possible to use ultrasound to induce temporary and safe paralysis of certain parts of the body, while the corresponding areas of the motor cortex will continue to exhibit activity and thus be readable by an EEG reader.
I recently got a message from Harris about this team, so here I am checking this out.
I also got an application to our group a while ago from him, I initially was hesitant to accept it due to age and lack of professional industry or academia experience in programming, signal analysis, or neurophysiology.
However, I apologize for that and I'm willing to reconsider it given that he created this forum and seems overall serious about the subject, and extend an invite to our group.
Currently we are in need of professional software developers, preferably those that have experience building messy opensource projects that have not been updated for years and requireunholy magic extensive tweaking to compile 5 or so years after they have been initially created.
Pardon my explicit recruiting on this forum - I am certainly willing to cooperate both directions and share knowledge.
