The device itself, including the developer license or the research license is a bit expensive, but wouldn´t be great to develop some software using this device?? I think possibilities are endless…

I can see a couple of problems that are making me having second thoughts about the project… I can assume that the headset itself is not a toy, and measures correctly all the stuff it is supposed to measure. The real value however relies in the software API bundled with it. Emotiv seems to have translated successfully all the indicators associated with thoughts like “up”, “down”, or “push” into something detectable by their model.

However, let´s imagine for a minute that it just does not work. How do you prove it? How do you tell apart a software failure and a wrong “way of thinking”. It´s a delicate matter.

I´ll definitely keep an eye on it though!

If you have some spare time, it is quite fast to read. It made my day!

I’ve been using it for a week now, and I can’t live with it. I am still using the trial version, but I’ll buy it for sure when it ends. A personal license costs 39$, but it’s nothing compared to the power of the plugin: themes, customization, several useful options, regular expressions engine to match and group tabs, etc…. Just great!. A shame it is not open source:D
