Emotiv Insight - $ 229 Neuro Interface
Emotiv Insight is a stylish brain interface. In fact, it is a wireless headset that reads an electroencephalogram of the brain and converts this data into simple commands. In just 10 days, she collected on Kickstarter $ 635,000 instead of the planned $ 100,000.
The device allows you to optimize brain performance, measure and monitor cognitive functions, and can also reduce stress levels.
A neural interface can understand and decipher basic mental commands such as push, pull, lift, rotate, and even commands that are difficult to visualize, for example, disappear. It also determines when a person blinks, winks, frowns, wonders, clenches his teeth or smiles.
Unlike their previous development - Emotiv EPOC , the new device is sleeker, faster, smarter, easier and more user-friendly.
')
Emotiv Insight is the only device on the market that has 5 EEG sensors and 2 sensors that cover key areas of the cerebral cortex: frontal cortex (executive functions), parietal-temporal (auditory, spatial / coordination), and occipital (visual).
It uses a special polymer biosensor, which provides greater electrical conductivity of brain signals, but does not require any conducting gel or saline. Thus, there is no need for any preparation at all. Those. the sensor can be used dry.
For $ 299, in addition to the neural interface itself, you can also get an SDK for development, including drivers, a full description of the API, and tools for EEG analysis.
In the wake of success, the company decided to put a new goal in front of its fans. If the project gets more than a million dollars, the device will be completely redesigned to add a new 6-axis inertial sensor (roll, pitch, yaw, vertical, lateral, longitudinal acceleration) to it, and this will not affect the price of the final device.
Enabling these additional features will allow applications to:
It is possible that soon we will see a cross between Emotiv Insight and Google Glass.
UPD. Shipping to anywhere in the world is $ 30

SDK for developers and researchers
For $ 299, in addition to the neural interface itself, you can also get an SDK for development, including drivers, a full description of the API, and tools for EEG analysis.
New target 6-axis inertial sensor
In the wake of success, the company decided to put a new goal in front of its fans. If the project gets more than a million dollars, the device will be completely redesigned to add a new 6-axis inertial sensor (roll, pitch, yaw, vertical, lateral, longitudinal acceleration) to it, and this will not affect the price of the final device.
Enabling these additional features will allow applications to:
- track complex head movements;
- control the camera and movement in real and virtual environments - complete control over the 3D cursor in CAD packages, flight simulators and remote control of vehicles
- automatically recognize gestures - nod YES, shake your head NO, shrug and other gestures;
- may even get a breathing rate and a heartbeat;
- analyze gait and tremor.
