Andreas Klostermann - Brainwaves for Hackers 3.0
Andreas Klostermann - Brainwaves for Hackers 3.0 [EuroPython 2016] [20 July 2016] [Bilbao, Euskadi, Spain] (https://ep2016.europython.eu//conference/talks/brainwaves-for-hackers-3) This talk is about using our **Python** skills to explore the **secrets of our brains**. Using the Neurosky Mindwave as a bluetooth connected EEG device, I'll talk about new experiments I have performed inside the Jupyter notebook, for example "Evoked Response Potentials" and more about "Neuro Feedback" training. ----- Electroencephalography **(EEG)** measures potential waves originating within the brain. Billions of brain cells fire inside your brain, each sending out a minuscule wave. The summed potential waves can be measured, even with quite cheap and **portable devices**. Being the third major version of this talk, I'll talk briefly about the Neurosky Mindwave and the Muse headset. I have also developed more interactive Jupyter experiments, which I'll demonstrate in the talk. For example **Evoked Response Potentials (ERP)** can be demonstrated with relatively simple means. Also I'll talk some more about experiments with **Neuro Feedback**.
