In addition to the Foursquare integration, I had also been working with TwoToasters as the client-side product manager for Yipit's very first mobile app!
Every time I practice meditation I use the Neurosky to record my brainwaves and then you can chart how your brain is changing (if at all) over time! Pretty neato, right?
A really cool thing about the Neurosky Mindwave is software that allows you to record brainwave information during meditation sessions and chart those data over time!
The headset measures 8 brainwaves (Delta, Theta, Low Alpha, High Alpha, Low Beta, High Beta, Low Gamma & High Gamma) and also has a chip-set algo that reads these 8 wave-forms in real time and outputs them in two additional channels called "attention" (one-pointedness of mind) and "meditation" (openness of mind).
On Thursday evening, I finally managed to get the NeuroSky headset I ordered working with my computer! The headset is a BCI (brain-computer interface) that measures your brainwaves in real-time and sends a stream of data wirelessly to your computer where it can be used to interact with computer programs.
Here's a photo of my playing one of the simple games that comes installed where you try to make barrels on the screen explode by focusing your attention on them.
And we stayed up late looking at photos on my computer. Ellen gets tired waiting two years for me to post photos on this site, so sometimes when she's over she likes to get a sneak peeks into what's coming down the line (eventually). Hahah.
