Whether you are an enthusiast, a professional, a student, a technology geek or just a curious person, this meetup is for you. If you know the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces, but have never tried these headsets, now is your chance!
Yannick Roy, graduate student in the field of BCI will show and explain the following popular EEG devices : the EPOC from Emotiv, the Mindwave from Neurosky and the Muse from InteraXon.You will see the live performance of these devices, their possibilities and their limitations. You will see what kind of readings you get out of these devices. Is the signal real EEG ? Is it just EMG ? What about EOG ? Can they read my thoughts ? Can I get smarter with these devices ? Can I control my boss with these devices ? All your questions will be answered.
You will also have the chance to use the devices and see for yourself the immense opportunities you can develop using brainwaves.
EVEN MORE !
You heard about NeuralDrift ? The team who won the 'Creativity Prize' at WearHacks. They will demo their 'Pacific Rim' game ! Montreal hosted a Hackathon on Wearables in September and NeuralDrift, a team part of this meetup, won a prize for their prototype. In 48 hours they made a 2 player game, where each player control 1 side of a robot with his mind. The two players must synch their brain activity to properly control the robot. Exactly like in Pacific Rim (the movie).
