Improving the performance of GIS/spatial analysts though novel applications of the Emotiv EPOC EEG headset
نویسندگان
چکیده
Geospatial information systems are used to analyze spatial data to provide decision makers with relevant, up-to-date, information. The processing time required for this information is a critical component to response time. Despite advances in algorithms and processing power, we still have many “human-in-theloop” factors. Given the limited number of geospatial professionals, analysts using their time effectively is very important. The automation and faster humancomputer interactions of common tasks that will not disrupt their workflow or attention is something that is very desirable. The following research describes a novel approach to increase productivity with a wireless, wearable, electroencephalograph (EEG) headset within the geospatial workflow.

Use of Emotiv EPOC P 300 and Emotiv EPOC : Does Emotiv EPOC capture real EEG ?
Introduction The Emotiv EPOC headset (http://emotiv.com/) has become one of the leading BCI equipment available today as a result of its low-cost (consumer edition for $300-400, research edition for $500) and features (14 EEG channels plus two references, inertial sensors, wireless connectivity, etc.). Although it has been integrated in a vast number of BCI applications, yet, its use for resear...
متن کاملA P300-based Quantitative Comparison between the Emotiv Epoc Headset and a Medical Eeg Device
EEG-based systems have been the most widely used in the field of Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCI) for two decades. Plenty of applications have been proposed from games to rehabilitation systems. Until recently, EEG recording devices were too expensive for an end-user. Today, several low-cost alternatives have appeared on the market. The most sophisticated of these low-cost devices is the Emotiv ...
متن کاملPerformance of the Emotiv Epoc headset for P300-based applications
BACKGROUND For two decades, EEG-based Brain-Computer Interface (BCI) systems have been widely studied in research labs. Now, researchers want to consider out-of-the-lab applications and make this technology available to everybody. However, medical-grade EEG recording devices are still much too expensive for end-users, especially disabled people. Therefore, several low-cost alternatives have app...
متن کاملEEG-based Brain-computer Interface for Automating Home Appliances
An EEG-based brain-computer system for automating home appliances is proposed in this study. Brain-computer interface (BCI) system provides direct pathway between human brain and external computing resources or external devices. The system translates thought into action without using muscles through a number of electrodes attached to the user’s scalp. The BCI technology can be used by disabled ...
متن کاملEmotiv Experimenter
1 Abstract This report describes the development and features of Experimenter, an application based on the EEG capabilities of the Emotiv EPOC headset. As a research tool, Experimenter allows a variety of experiments based on classic stimulus-presentation paradigms to be run using the Emotiv. Unlike most EEG setups, however, Experimenter not only records data but also attempts online analysis a...
