That's awesome! Did you attach the electrodes to the head or somewhere on your arm? I would also be very interested to know how you decoded the electrode data.

On another note, I found it pretty surprising that it's possible to get even remotely accurate data from the Mindflex. As a child, I remember wholeheartedly believing it was real. But, only when I won.

I will also need to shoot NeuroSky a message to see if I can get my hands on one of their dev kits. This recent venture into decoding EEG data was fascinating and I would love to see how far I could take it with non-invasive electrodes.
I also recommend this video as a resource on low cost EEG from someone who tried living with it: https://youtu.be/c-LyXBCNsrA?si=7xoM1OGTNRbMsO_P (skim through)

That goes over several nicer multichannel options. The NeuroSky stuff will only get you so far :)

This is great, thanks for sharing. I think I will give a multichannel headset a try and attempt to train some models that map neural activity to cursor movements.

I came across this article today: https://medium.com/@kevinjycui/of-mice-and-mind-creating-a-s...

It sounds as if this individual had some success with the Emotiv INSIGHT (5 Channel) but the data quality was a limiting factor in creating an application usable for everyday activity.
