A friend of mine on Telegram just asked me these questions:

https://openeeg.sourceforge.net/

This sure does exist

Conceptually, EEG devices sound simple — they just measure voltage across the skull and connect the readings to a computer which prints them out as a graph, right?

Does anyone here have any experience DIY-ing EEG?

Is it worth doing on a random whim?

DIY eye-tracking has inherent risks involved with shining infrared lights into your eyes

I think DIY EEG is inherently safer?

🧠 Brain-Computer Interfaces in Gaming: The Next Frontier 🎮✨

Imagine controlling a game with your mind—no controllers, no keyboards, just pure thought. Brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) are pushing the boundaries of gaming, creating opportunities for unparalleled immersion and interaction. This article from Wardrome explores the potential of BCIs to revolutionize the way we play and experience games.

Discover how this cutting-edge technology could redefine the future of gaming.

A new series of open access articles and opinion pieces from the Hastings Center addresses the ethical, legal, and societal issues presented by emerging neuroscience. In the first edition, writers focus on what is owed to people who volunteer in clinical trials to develop implantable brain devices, such as deep-brain stimulators and brain-computer interfaces. #neuroethics #neurosociety #neuroscience #neurolaw #braincomputerinterfaces #brainresearch #healthcare https://dana.org/article/neuroscience-and-society-a-featured-article-series-by-the-hastings-center/

What is a brain-computer interface? How are they being used as therapeutics in healthcare? What should policy leaders be thinking about in this moment given the rapid growth of the field? Watch the final #DanaDiscoveryDialogues for answers to these questions and more! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NQ2xaqT3SWc&t=3s

Of concern in the news story is what the company owner intends to accomplish: „Musk envisions both disabled and healthy individuals swiftly getting surgical implants at local centers. These devices aim to cure a range of conditions from obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia, to enabling web browsing and telepathy.“
These visions highlight the dangers to our democratic societies posed by #BrainComputerInterfaces - regardless of the improvements it may bring to those with diseases.
