We’re happy to report that we are making progress towards our goal of building a better brain computer interface.

Our latest prototype includes five dry electrode or Dryode sensors from iDun Technologies connected to an OpenBCI board for signal capture. The sensors are stitched into an elastic band with a simple snap closure at the back of the band.

The device is worn like a necklace which has many advantages over head-worn brain computer interfaces. Our objective is for future iterations of our brain computer interface necklace to have a more loose fit.

We have successfully recorded signals and have begun processing them. Initial results are promising for detecting subvocal speech or ‘silent speech’. Earlier experiments have revealed that there are EEG signals available in the neck as well. More on this in another post.
