Goal: To build an EEG that has enough resolution to read a persons mind and interpret what his/her thoughts into a known command. This involves building both the hardware and the computer software that interrupts the data. We might have an EEG borrowed for a semester (and a semester only) from the NITRO lab on campus (http://nitrolab.engr.wisc.edu/) so we can check the differences and improve our eeg. This project is going to be used in conjunction with the quadcopter to make a mind controlled quadcopter! You can also use it in other projects with very little modifications. Think of all the new cool possibilities!
Current progress: Haven't started yet, but will start soon (on Friday 10/11)
People involved in the project:

Awesome plan, Ahmed. You are a busy bee. FYI, I've my paws on an RC regular helicoptor. We can play with it end of next week. -Duncan
