Emotiv EPOC and TD?

I wondered if any Touch Designers here have experimented with the EEG device Emotiv EPOC yet? [url]http://www.emotiv.com/[/url] Seems like there’s a ton of potential here!

On no less than Grateful Dead drummer Mickey Hart’s head!

Ah great! Thanks Rob. Was the workflow relatively straight forward?

Not sure, as I wasn’t involved, but if you search the forums you may find some references to it.
Cheers,

We played with them a bit then decided to make our own with better electrodes (superglued them to a pianist’s scalp!) so i didn’t ever use the epoc or the other one with Touch.

We used Brainbay and a Dataq DI-149 (great little box for around $100 I think).

I’ve played with EPOC in TD for a bit, mostly for visualise EEG-data (not to control TD via EPOC) - it’s quite easy to connect Emotiv headset with TouchDesigner by “Mind Your OSCs” app (avaiable on emotiv.com)

Hi, I am new to both TouchDesigner and Emotiv. Can you please suggest where can I find tutorial to connect Emotive headset with TD by the Mind You OSCs app or if you could give me some suggestions please?

Cheers,
Karen

Hi Karen,
I am unaware of an tutorials on this as only a small handful of people have got to try it.

However, if the Mind You OSC app sends OSC data as it name suggests, you can start in TouchDesigner with a OSC In CHOP or OSC In DAT which will bring that data into TouchDesigner. Once the data is in there you can do anything you want with it where other tutorials available will still come in handy.

I got the EPOC+ “talking” to Touch via the Mind your OSCs app

  • Setup headset and train it using Emotiv BCI
  • Close Emotiv BCI
  • Start MindYourOSCs
  • Select EmotivEngine from left pull down and connect

I’ve never seen any great results from this Noise-Out-Of-Someones-Head (NOOSH) tech (trademark rodberry :slight_smile: but the OSC does come across.

Hi, I’m interested in this brainwave sensor discussion. Just wondering if anyone tried Emotiv Insight before? It’s a lower version of EPOC+. Can it send the OSC signal to TD as well?
