Synopsis

BCI - Brain Computer Interface. The need?You probably have seen one of the dozens of sensor products that can measure your heart rate, the number of steps you take each day, and other information about your body in real time.  This movement has a fancy name - “Quantified Self” which basically means measuring things that are happening related to your body and health. People find this kind of tech extremely useful and even motivating. Why? Because when you can quantify your heart rate, the amount of exercise you are doing, or even how much you are sitting down per work session - you can dramatically improve your habits - and know for certain that you are getting there. But what about your brain? Is there a way to know if your mind is restless? In the same way that sensors now measure your heart rate, is there a way to measure how your brain is behaving? That’s the idea behind BCI. It’s going to sound very technical, but really it just stands for Brain to Computer Interface. That&rsq
