MindSet for Developers and Consumers

The NeuroSky MindSet headset is our first product available to the public. It is a brainwave interface headset with medical-grade data acquisition for research or consumer use. It measures electrical impulses generated by mental activity, and uses proprietary algorithms to calculate the observed types of brain behavior. For consumer games and education, The MindSet makes calculated brainwave levels and interpreted mental states (currently “attention” and “meditation”) available as digital input for computers, phones, software, and devices. There are currently over a dozen games and educational applications available for download on our store. For sophisticated developers, raw unfiltered brainwave measurements are available through use of our SDK. In all cases, the data is fed to the computer via wireless Bluetooth and includes both audio and voice support for MP3 and VoIP.

Usability

Traditional brainwave feedback and recording devices require gels and numerous sensor points placed on the subject’s head. MindSet uses only a single dry (no gel) sensor that rests comfortably on the subject’s forehead and connects to a PC for data collection. Variable headset sizing ensures flexibility regardless of the subjects’ head size. 5-second calibration reduces downtime.

Portability & “Noise”

NeuroSky MindSets resemble a standard stereo headphone, are relatively compact and include a noise-canceling technology that enables use outside of a controlled lab environment. Subjects can record data in a variety of environments, using the MindSet, and a computer or a smartphone.

Cost Effective

The principle goal is developing our technology to make a cost effective solution that expands the scope of people who can benefit from access to BCI. Furthermore, the quality of the data collected from ThinkGear enabled technology has been demonstrated to be comparable, or even better than more expensive EEG devices, with respect to amplification, filtering, and frequency responses.
