BCI updates 3

What’s happening on the BCI front….

Well, I have sufficient data from myself. I’m looking for subjects who wouldn’t mind me taking some of their recordings for an hour or two worth of data (and while I shall try to maintain full anonymity, I’m not making any such promises outright.)

I’m spending lots and lots of time reading for the next 3 weeks. I realized just how rusty I had become. Fixing it. Current reading list includes large-data pattern mining. Bayesian decision theory. I always go through “Introduction to Algorithms” once every year (and I hadn’t read their latest edition.) General math and calculus.

Fortunately thanks to library deadlines, I have to finish all this before the 9th of August.

Also, my dad’s a statistician, so I’ve sent some of the BCI data to him in case he can find a good classifier.

This is the non-exciting phase of any project. I know what to do. The blockers are gone. It’s just week after week of thankless work that does not demonstrate linear returns. You can help by joining in the effort and keeping me going.
