GSoC 2020 Ideas List
BrainFlow project link: https://github.com/OpenBCI/brainflow
Port BrainFlow to Android:
- Description – port BrainFlow to Android using Android NDK, first step – port synthetic board, after that add streaming board and WIFI Shield based boards, in case if there will be enough time develop simple GUI application for Android(optional)
- Requirements – Git, Cmake and ability to write C\C++ and Java code
- Ways to stand out of the crowd – Android development experience
- Hardware requirements – WIFI Shield + Ganglion or Cyton, for getting started Synthetic board is enough
- Complexity – hard
- Mentors – Andrey([email protected]), Daniel
Add JavaScript and Julia bindings for BrainFlow:
- Description – Add JS and Julia bindings for BrainFlow
- Requirements – Git and experience with either JavaScript or Julia
- Hardware requirements – nice to have any OpenBCI board but Synthetic board is also ok
- Complexity – simple
- Mentors – Andrey([email protected]), Daniel
Add data encryption for all communication between OpenBCI board and PC:
- Description – It’s a research task which can be useful for future, data security is getting more popular in BCI world and there are a lot of research papers about it. To make user’s data more secure we can encrypt all data sent from OpenBCI board and decrypt it in BrainFlow SDK.
- Requirements – Git and C\C++ experience
- Ways to stand out of the crowd – Experience with Arduino and understanding of encryption algorithms
- Hardware requirements – Cyton
- Complexity – hard
- Mentors – Andrey([email protected]), Daniel
Implement ICA based signal denoising:
- Description – Implement signal denoising using ICA algorithm and integrate it to BrainFlow API (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/233854707_ICA-based_EEG_denoising_A_comparative_analysis_of_fifteen_methods).
- Requirements – Git and C\C++ experience
- Ways to stand out of the crowd – Signal Processing Experience
- Hardware requirements – None
- Complexity – hard
- Mentors – Andrey([email protected]), Daniel
Unity SDK for OpenBCI Hardware
- Description – develop simple but robust SDK for interfacing OpenBCI hardware with Unity game engine with simple yet elegant neurotech 3D examples
- Requirements – Unity, C#, C\C++, 3D
- Ways to stand out of the crowd – prior experience with electrophysiological signal processing
- Hardware requirements – WIFI Shield + Ganglion or Cyton, for getting started Synthetic board is enough
- Complexity – hard
- Mentors – Andrey([email protected]), Conor ([email protected]), Daniel
