Mind control in JavaScript - Experimenting with alternative interactions
summary
Builds an open-source JavaScript framework around an Emotiv EPOC and a node add-on, with an emulator and live-data API that emits boolean events for facial expressions and trained mental commands. Demonstrations include a brain keyboard (look left/right + blink), 3D navigation via trained focus, and basic drone control; hardware demos are often flaky with blink latency and per‑user training required. Notes limits (temporal vs spatial resolution), mentions OpenBCI raw data and accessibility, meditation and art use cases.
