Neuromaker

A headset, a trace, and software that says which part of it is strange.

A brain-computer interface built with my school’s biotech academy. It reads brainwaves off a consumer headset, records a session, and flags the windows where activity runs unusually high or low.

The hard part was not the signal. It was deciding what counts as unusual, and then showing the operator the exact window the software is pointing at, so the judgement stays with the person.

Neuromaker checking the headset fit before a session
Fit first. A bad contact looks exactly like an interesting result, so the app refuses to start until the sensors are seated.

A flagged window: a beta spike on both frontal sensors, highlighted on the trace so you can go and look at it yourself.
