Comment on Brainwave based authentication prototype from UC Berkeleyparent

Comments

MindSet is used in the game "Throw Trucks With Your Mind," which recently had a successful Kickstarter campaign. I've played with a prototype build of the game, the headset works great although I'm surprised that it's also precise enough for user authentication.

Ah, thank you. Is it worth buying to play around with? I don't even know how you'd control things with it...

I haven't looked into building anything(I've just played with demos when they're available) but my understanding is that what is offered in most of these neurointerface platforms is an API for simple things, and then low-level access to digital signals, with one channel for each area of the brain being sampled. So if you're doing things low-level expect to be applying some DSP knowledge.
