Dusted off: God Options
God Options – (c) Pip 2007

Brain control interfaces (BCI) update: Deepend Lunch and Learn
Following on from my previous post on BCI, I’d like to share a Lunch & Learn session I presented at Deepend on the topic with my partner Gen. Gen and her colleagues at Macquarie University have been investigating the Emotiv … Continue reading
