This Saturday (Feb. 16th), The Brain Interface Lab is hosting an all-day event titled Hack-A-Brain. The event is a dev jam focused on the creation of novel applications of low-cost brain interfaces. We were able to procure a variety of commercial EEG devices for the event, including headsets from Neurosky and Emotiv.

If you have an Emotiv or other brain interface tech bring it along! There will be various units on site from a number of different vendors for the event but its always better to have more on hand :)
