Just tried something super cool at home, hooked up the OpenBCI’s EEG Gel Cap to Intel’s ACAT toolkit (yep, the same Assistive Context-Aware Toolkit Stephen Hawking used/created) and managed to write my name and even have a conversation with someone using it!
The wild part? I didn’t even bother with the ESD wristband to reduce signal noise… and it still worked. The gel cap picked up clean signals like a champ.
It’s kind of mind-blowing seeing how OpenBCI hardware can pair with open-source assistive tech like ACAT to create real, functional communication tools. Definitely one of those “wow, this actually works” moments, and I was just doing it from my room in Morocco.
