Here's next week's video, early for Patrons. This one goes out on 17th November.

So it's pretty tricky to get any results at all, I plan to restructure the headset as I indicated at the end - probably concentrating all of the electrodes toward the front of my head, and then see if I can identify specific thoughts. I'd like to use a deep learning model to identify trends in the data.

PREVIEW VERSION: Brain Interfaces

I recently made Wolverine Claws which are triggered by a deep learning model that uses machine vision to look at my facial expression. Now it's time to test some brain-computer interfaces from openBCI to see how easy it would be to control robotics and prosthetics. I've managed to pinpoint specific places in my motor cortex, but I think we'll need a slightly different electrode mount on a headset to use free thought to control anything.

What about a Doc Brown colander headset ? A scale replica is however a little unwieldy though!

Since nowadays people demand free-range Faradays there are plenty of cages going spare ;)

XRobots

It's a consideration, I'd need to do AB testing to see how much of the problem is interference though

XRobots

Thanks, I have a few things to investigate - I might just use the sticky ones they provided but hold them on a frame so the sticky doesn't matter

If you could get that to work well enough to control some of the iron man suit it would just be cool.

XRobots

It would probably be easier to put the sensors on my actual muscles which is how the US Military suits work. I'm still thinking about what the best options are for Exo V3 though ;-)

Nice video. Maybe an Emet Brown, McFly colab in CF's Delorean? Do you think in future, when they play back this video they will see all of your current thoughts and even see what you see?🤔🤔🤔

XRobots

It doesn't even need to work for that colab! I don't think 16 electrodes in the wrong place will help them much - maybe if there were a couple of thousand!

XRobots

Apparently the commentary is that he isn't doing anything that ground breaking, the only difference is he's doing it in the mainstream and commercialising it.

It did look impressive, predicting where the pigs legs would move to (could be good for pig accident avoidance), I wonder if you could see the desired movement of the pigs legs while it's asleep and the motor cortex is blocking signals, hmmm. I'm very interested in how things will function with your device after a bit of device teaching. Good luck with it 👍

Can you try to look for coherent signals from multiple sensors to try to triangulate signals from specific parts of the brain and reduce noise?

XRobots

Possibly, I'm not really sure how much sensors next to each other vary - I guess the signal has to come through my skull and skin, so I'm not sure how 'diffused' it is.
