The idea here is that we can use simple devices to provide neurofeedback and interface with smarphones. Heart Rate Variability and EEG are physio biomarkers that can be modulated by self-regulation to adaptive levels provided visual feedback.

Wearable blood pressure sensor (doesn’t have to be worn at heart-level like traditional blood pressure monitors)
Calculating the heart rate with a pulse plethysmograph (IR sensor + custom amp circuit)
Networked Arduino heartbeat sensor + SuperCollider (IR sensor + Arduino)

DIY Arduino-based pulse oximeter (IR sensor + red LED + [...]
Here is a great interface called cyberlink brainfingers. It apparently can differentiate between alpha and beta waves in addition to sensing muscle activity on the face…it appears there are seven channels….so here is the perfect interface with 7 channels of analog input to control something….like ???
maybe a visual display
Analog Gain: 200,000
Noise At Front End: [...]

The Neurosky Mindset taps into your brainwaves and allows you to watch trippy graphics while you think. It looks more or less like a set of wireless headphones with a theremin attached to it.
Interestingly, they provide a set of open programming APIs that allow independent developers to more easily create software that interacts with the [...]
There are multiple reasons to address this transition between states of consciousness:
1. Improve sleep/wake/circadian rhythms
2. Improve recall of dreams
3. Understand the mechanisms of memory recall
4. Address the subtle levels of energy that manifest in the dream state
5. increase ability for lucid dreaming
There are multiple brain-machine interfaces that could be created based on products such as:
a [...]
We need an interface with bodily/brain function….look at this gimmick:

People use this to maintain control over stress response.
This blog purports to begin a dialog between a neuroscientist and an interaction designer about the integration of interactive technology and the brain. So what better topic to kick it off than the fusion of old fashioned artificial intelligence with the bloody real thing.
At least since the industrial revolution with its suggestive images of efficient [...]
