hello everyone
I am currently trying to extract data from an epoc emotic 14 channel eeg headset , I am having some trouble being able to extract the data stream
Any suggestions?!

hola!
does anyone here has eeg readings of febromealgia vs healthy patients?
can i get some of that? 🙂

March for Science in San Francisco this Saturday, April 22: want to put Muse headsets on people? Teach people about EEG? We've still got space at our booth -- ping me if you're interested in volunteering as a researcher or a participant!

The NeuroTechTO community hacks again this Thursday at the VarageSale office, 111 Peter St, Toronto, from 7pm onwards
On the agenda this week:
- Machine learning! How well does a classifier trained on one person's Muse data perform on someone else? How about the same person 30 minutes later?
- Setting up our new Ganglion. Which cute animal video elicits the greatest correlated brain firing between participants?
- Experimenting with Muse's new research tools
All are welcome. Hope to see you there!

The NeuroTechAU <#C44MX942K|_australia> community hack is on the 19th August at TAFE campus in Townsville. This is our first regional outreach hack (most meetups have been in my lab on the Sunshine Coast). If you know of anyone in Aus who is keen on BCI, please invite them to join the <#C44MX942K|_australia> channel.

As some of you may know, next week we are trying to go bigger and better than ever with our hacknight! We'll be marketing the event to a much wider audience, holding an intro to BCI development workshop for noobs, and providing food.
Details:
Tuesday, September 5th, 6-10pm
Location: secret (for now)
If you're interested in attending, please fill out this quick registration form https://goo.gl/forms/NSVHsO03f6y3z3In1.
It's mostly for limiting the number of people who want to take the workshop and filtering out disruptive neuro-hypers. Anyone who's come to a hacknight before is welcome to come.

>Elon Musk was granted $23M from DARPA to found "NeuraLink". It could be like a 22bit visual binary hive mind, if fate enables us to combine Nerve Growth Factor NGF, Nootropics, Legal Addictive Stimulants, and Quantum Array Transponders. Eventually it could all just come in this beautiful package that says "Welcome to NeuraLink".

Hey crew, who�s got a hankering for some neurohacking? We�ll be satisfying our cravings this week at on Tuesday the 17th, (that�s tomorrow night) at VarageSale.
A little review of our two main projects:
An interactive introduction to EEG data and what can be done with it, including a small example of a Brain-Computer Interface. It�s the perfect entry-point for those new to neuroscience. Right now new lessons on ERPs are being developed, the Android version is being ported over to iOS, and support is being added for as many languages as possible.
- Neurodoro ( https://github.com/neurotechx/neurodoro )
Currently in progress, Neurodoro is a revamp of the pomodoro technique, which uses a timer to structure working sessions and break times. Neurodoro uses EEG recorded while working to replace the timer with brain-responsive recommendations for when to take break from your focused activity. Multiple data prep and attention classification strategies are being explored, including a new RNN setup that�s (maybe) almost functional. The app is in ReactNative and is still missing a few key features. We�re also starting to think about setting up a server and a database for collecting training data.
In addition to those, a couple people are working on extracting keystrokes from EEG, and new project ideas are always welcome!
See you there.
Time: Tuesday the 17th, 7 until whenever PM
Location: VarageSale, Suite 901 111 Peter St, Toronto

I had to remove the side window of Slack (on the right) to see your Text Art. Otherwise Slack scales it down and since its not an image, the text is all misaligned. I was looking at it for like 3 minutes trying to figure out what it was.. loool 😕
