- ("Neuroscience" link on sidebar yields many publications from that lab]
We use nonlinear mapping and multidimensional scaling into 2-space to identify itinerant chaotic trajectories through sequences of nonconvergent attractor ruins in the attractor landscapes of brain state space. The attractors are created and modified by reinforcement learning based on classical and operant conditioning. Neural modeling includes demonstrations of the neural mechanisms that ensure in all cortices the stability of neural populations that supports rapid and widespread state transitions by virtue of small-world and scale-free network architecture. Neocortex is unique among cortices in maintaining global self-organized criticality, in which the critical order parameter is the global level of neural synaptic interaction that everywhere locally is homeostatically regulated by neural thresholds and refractory periods.

IBVA Port[edit | edit source]
Sucessfully built and ran IVBA source (Aug 11, 2013). Key steps below.
1. Root directory of application must be /Developer/Examples/IBVAV4F5Apr12all
2. Installing Xcode 3.2.6 on Mountian Lion and don't try taking shortcuts... 3.2.1 crashes on run-time when trying to load the project.
Data[edit | edit source]
We have 650MB of data taken from party (Aug. 10, 2013).. Where to upload?

Present: Johny, Daglan, John, Thomas, Aly, Jade, Dan, Kevin, Rohan
Recorded: https://www.noisebridge.net/wiki/File:SampleEEGdata20130501.txt
Understanding dreams via EEG readout Nightmare or not classifier, a good place to start
delta 1-4Hz theta 4-7Hz alpha 6-12Hz low beta 12-15Hz normal focus mid beta 16-22Hz high focus high beta 22-24Hz anxiety muscle artifact shortcoming of eeg
peak freq marker of stress
Rohan will look up information on EEG
There will be a burning man device that will be controlled by an EEG headset
Brain-o-cate --> interactive video game focused on teaching children about the brain
Zeo headband EEG made for sleep
We like more sensors and high data quality and comfort
Computational neuro science on coursera
Signal localization
- Grid array sensor
- Seizure localization 164/256 sensors on the brain, 1/2" apart
- 32 channel EEG on the surface to get a picture
- ElectroCap has cap with 64 sensor places
EEG correlate for REM
- States
http://brainstorms.puzzlebox.info/ LEDs on the HSNPs
- Glow different colors by brain state
Convert brain waves to audio spectrum
- MIDI tones, 4-8Hz offset ==> induce activity
- Musical Insturment Digital Interface
- Feeback loops
- Would have to compensate for delay between the reading device and audio device
Classify audio waves via brain monitoring
What is the difference between vision/hearing and dreaming or thinking on music in the brain?
- dtMRI - detects neuronal activity, by neuron strands
Thermal infrared camera to monitor blood-flow in the brain
IR cameras to measure full specture, rather than stricly amplitude Could construct a small array of infrared sensors -- more economic
Project Ideas[edit | edit source]
Send EEG data recorded during the meeting
- Guess who was wearing the device
- See Attached
Rohan has 9 months of EEG data from Hymalayas
- Has built a meditation classifier from raw Neuro Sky data
Dan would like to have real-time display, in form of LEDs on cap, that reflects EEG data
- Feedback loop between two people wearing LED caps
Brian with badasslighting and dept of spontaneous combustion
host open night in W Oakland, teach welding, art, construction steel walk-in structure with neurons and synapses of LEDs in acrlyic tubes 0.3W LEDs all over the place raspberry pi flame effects for quiet mind "processing" python tool to mix RP with picture looking for a developers to workout the details of nero-data to brain lights American Steel, Mandela and 20th, open house Contact Brian if interested @ 415-509-2100/bkrawitz@gmail.com
Johny wants to convert brain data into music
- translation technique

[Neuro] Coming soon to Noisebridge - The Dream Team

Hello Noisebridge!
We shall meet on Wednesday, May 1, at 6:30, because we're all stars! Python class is over, now let's put that good know-how to work on some maths and science stuffs. There may also be comestibles, just this once.
Come down to the 6:30 share-a-thon. Discuss your dreams and other applications of neuron-monitoring devices. I want to investigate lexical dream content and brainwaves of people all over the planet, starting with Noisebridge. Thus far, I have an EEG device and a semi-incomplete research facility (HSNPs).
To get up to speed with what I've been looking into read on. And all you varied neuro-hackers out there please do go to the brainliner.jp site, it's amazing.
I've attached a copy of a sample data set taken while writing this message. Also attached is a screen shot of the GUI that the python scripts create. The scripts run great on Debian. The dongle that comes with the device has an antenna to pick-up the WiFi transmissions from the device. It opens the right sockets, makes a few hand shakes, and promptly peaces out. Neurosky purports the device will give a good signal up to 10m. It spews ~500 measures per second.

This is the EEG device. Specs included.

And here's a link to Yukiyasu Kamitani's landing page with ATR, Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International. He's head of the Department of Neuroinfomatics, and lead reacher on the publication below. They are working on predicting dream sequences from EEG and MRI data taken while asleep.
http://www.cns.atr.jp/dni/en/members/kamitani_e/ http://www.cns.atr.jp/dni/en/publications/
Kanitani and others are open-sourcing a good bit of their work. See git hub repository and standardized repository for sharing neuro-data below. They're set-up to run in Mat Lab, but w/e.
Really, go to brainliner and then giggle crescendoing into mad-scientist roar.

And finally, to pass on a message from a friend, because it's open in my browser and seems appropriate. https://raw.github.com/videlalvaro/gifsockets/master/doc/mybrain.gif
See you Wednesday.
