The headsets are experimental 2 channel EEG carriers. Electrodes read the wearer's brainwaves, an USB cable collects the signals and sends them to a computer for various purposes. Expect more applications to pop up over the course of the next months. By the way: The 8 channel hardware is almost ready for experiments.

And who will you be experimenting on with?
I suddenly have other things to do..er. Yes. Right! Well, to my other things!

I've long suspected that you have the brains of a surgeon (as well as the hands of an engineer and quite possibly the large intestine of a brewer).

As a true slightly deranged scientist, I experiment on myself.
Next prototype started! It's ready to take a full set of 8 electrodes, for a full EEG readout. The full hardware should be available in a few weeks. The new headset looks even more gnarly. There should be photos soon. A film team is scheduled to take footage for a documentary, quite possibly involving my headsets in action.

Right now? Biofeedback experiments. Watch your own brainwaves. Record them during specific rasks (meditation, for instance) then try to replicate the patterns. We have experimented with remote controlling quadrotor drones and digitising the brainwaves to make an electroencephalophone. My personal main focus is the development of a brainwave controlled musical instrument that works without an obvious computer. The two channel setup is a bit quirky, mainly due to the cramped space inside the plug. The 8 channel version avoids that, it connects via bluetooth.

Will phase two be a reverse of the process? Use the recorded brainwaves to force the test subject's brain into those patterns, turning them into your puppets? |

You wish, huh? Phase two of the project will be to have new ways of feedback. There is no way to force patterns upon a brain. Also, there's the slight problem of ethics. Oh darn, I just lost my membership in the mad scientists' club, right?

Correction. There is no way to force patters upon a brain YET. Ethics, schmethics. That's what informed consent forms, liability waivers, and good lawyers are for. |

What are "ethics"? Are they for regulating the voltage?  |

We have found that the combination of Mesmerism, electro-shock aversion therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, chocolate, and a carefully chosen Advertising Campaign to be most effective; when used in conjunction with the telly, can cause the subjects brainwaves to syncronyse correctly. yhs prof marvel |

Oh, we will experiment with magnetic induction as a method of direct feedback, but the levels needed to force a pattern upon the brain would scramble the noggin like an egg. We'll... experiment. With... VOLUNTEERS. Yes, volunteers has a nice ring to it.
Also, stop being bitter, Herr von Corax. Maybe you should stick to scientific method. You'll have your title back in no time. Basic rule is, don't use gentry when rabble will do.
