The start of sales of the Emotiv EPOC is postponed to 2009.
Earlier it was reported that the device will be ready for Christmas. Representatives of the Australian campaign Emotiv Systems say they would like to “make sure” that the device is working “as planned”.
This is a representative of a class of devices for reading thoughts, that is, a brain-computer interface based on electroencephalography. The producers guarantee that the character’s behavior will be controlled through emotions and facial expressions.
EPOC has 16 electrodes. This is less than the standard medical devices, but much more than the existing analogues (OCZ NIA with 3 electrodes and NeuroSky with 1). Also, the device has two gyros to control the position of the head in space.
The device can measure 4 types of input signals:
EPOC will be sold with at least one game. An example of torment can be seen in the video.
And here is an example of how it should work ... in theory. (this video was already posted by alizar )

Estimated price of $ 299.

EPOC has 16 electrodes. This is less than the standard medical devices, but much more than the existing analogues (OCZ NIA with 3 electrodes and NeuroSky with 1). Also, the device has two gyros to control the position of the head in space.
The device can measure 4 types of input signals:
- Analysis of thoughts (Cognitiv suite): 12 types of movements (6 along the axes of coordinates, and 6 turns), plus another arbitrary default. However, at present, the device can reliably recognize no more than 4. The video provided by the developers shows that such movements are rather difficult even for experienced users. In principle, users can visualize any 13 types of actions, but there are serious problems with recognition. Due to the complexity of the algorithms, there is some delay, so in this capacity the device is not suitable for dynamic games.
- Emotion Analysis (Affectiv suite): “Pleasure,” “Interest / Boredom,” “Meditation,” and “Disappointment” - these emotions can be identified with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
- Expressiveness analysis (Expressiv suite): The individual position of the century, the position of the eyeball, eyebrows, smile, laughter, etc. can be detected with a sufficiently high speed and reliability. This is due to receiving information not from EEG sensors, but from signals of the facial muscles. As a result, the reaction rate increases to 10 milliseconds, which makes it possible to use, for example, in shooters.
- Rotation of the head: Allows you to determine the slope and make more subtle movements. It has nothing to do with sensors, information comes from gyroscopes.
EPOC will be sold with at least one game. An example of torment can be seen in the video.
