BCI Devices

This presentation makes use of two BCI devices. The first a NeuroSky Mindwave Mobile 2 which is a single channel headset which is good for building BCI applications that can function off alpha and beta-rhythms. The second headset is a Ultracortex Mark IV by OpenBCI which can support up to 16 channels which allows for more complicated BCI experiments such as ones leveraging the visual cortex and the motor cortex.

OpenBCI

Mindcraft leverages a 16 electrode OpenBCI EEG Headset setup with the daisy module. The following is a diagram using the 10-20 system to describe where to place electrodes on your headset.
