icibici workshop: a brain-computer interface for your phone/tablet/etc.

Presented at Still Hacking Anyway (SHA2017), Aug. 8, 2017, 11:10 a.m. (60 minutes).

Build and use the world's first €25 brain-smartphone interface to enter text on your phone by thinking (well, we're getting there...)! This project drops the cost of brain-computer interfaces by using your smartphone, tin foil and a bathing cap in the hope of doing what Google Cardboard did for VR. We explain the theory (steady-state visually evoked potential) behind the text entry app. Please bring your device (with an audio jack), a pocket knife and a small screwdriver. Now in eight colours: only 37 kits left! #Training Each icibici workshop is stand-alone: come to one to buy and build your kit; come back to work on the software. iOS users need to register on Testflight: see the github repo for details. ALERT: the boards in the kits have reversed the positive & negative battery terminals! Simplest fix for SHA: hold the battery on reversed; we're working on a better fix.
