I added Mind Control to my previous Automated Beer Pong game!

Using an EEG Headset (used MindFlex headset game purchased on Ebay for ~$12), HC-06 Bluetooth chip, and good old Arduino, the project came to life.

Concept, build, and demonstration video.

Once the Bluetooth transceiver is wired in and the device is paired to a computer, the Brainwave OSC software breaks the incoming data up into separate attention and meditation charts. A second program, Processing, runs a code that grabs the attention levels from Brainwave OSC. In the Processing code there is also a variable Attention threshold that once broken, sends an "on" signal to the connected Arduino. The Arduino then moves the cups at the users' selected speed.

EXPANDED TECHNICAL DETAILS

Biometric-to-Mechanical Interaction

This high-concept project uses brainwave activity to control the movement of a Beer Pong target, blending neuro-technology with social games.

  • EEG Signal Processing: Interfaces with a NeuroSky MindWave headset via Bluetooth. The Arduino receives "Attention" or "Meditation" values (0-100) from the user's brain.
  • Servo Gain Control: The higher the user's "Attention" score, the faster or more accurately a high-torque servo moves the cup platform, making the game harder or easier based on the player's focus.

Multi-Platform Hub

  • Processing GUI: A dedicated Processing script on a laptop visualizes the raw EEG waves in real-time, providing the audience with a "Look inside" the player's mind during the game.
