" summary

Hacked a Mindflex EEG with an Arduino to publish samples via MQTT, ingests Call of Duty API JSON into an Autonomous Database materialized view, and links 12,000 brain samples to 150+ matches with SQL and Micronaut. Stores raw JSON as CLOB, normalizes with a refresh-on-commit materialized view, and uses SQL macros to parameterize grouping. Analysis shows score and accuracy peak at 41–50% attention and decline with higher attention or higher meditation, so moderate attention correlates with best gameplay.
