EMG Atari Control
Nick and Tim came by to see if we could get EOG (but really EMG) to work with the Atari running through BCI2000. I get to be the monkey. One electrode on my wrist for ground. One on my forehead as reference. Two by my eyes to get the changes in potential when I look different places. They couldn't get the DC signal to work (that's what we need for real EOG), so it was EMG instead - recording from the muscles in my face. Once everything was set up I was able to switch between going forward and turning. They also added shooting in the middle phase. Switching between them is pretty slow, and the control I had wasn't very great, but if I spent a little longer practicing I should be able to move around a lot quicker.
I control the Atari by blinking! No hands! Tim, Nick, me, Dr. Moran. Jim is taking the picture.
Tim does the software stuff that makes the computer talk to the Atari. Nick does the BCI2000 stuff with the ECoG patients.
The second joystick works, so people can play against me using that. I actually got Jim one time!
Sometimes the computer doesn't like to recognize the amplifier. Nick is next to me, Tim is next to him.
Jim is, once again, taking the picture with my phone. They [the pictures] turned out better than we expected.
