recognizing intention in the EEG patterns?
I am still researching ahead of potentially doing some work in this space but as I read on and I starting to think there is something I have misunderstood.
From the videos I have seen the EEG output seems very sensitive to muscle movement in the face and jaw as well as eye movements, for example in this video from your good selves at OpenBCI
The presentation was opened and controlled through jaw and eye artifacts rather than actual brain activity (thinking).
I am still very new to this so this may sound really dumb but is it possible to see from EEG data a pattern if someone, for example, thought of "left" or pictured in their mind an object moving left? or is the output of EEG just not sensitive or artifact free enough to pick up on that kind of thing?
In my case I was thinking of doing something to try and map a pattern of EEG data to the thought of, for example, throwing a ball but not necessarily actually throwing it (hesitation). Would there be evidence in the EEG data of a "thought" of throwing a ball?
Please ask for clarification if this makes no sense.
Regards,
Sam

To be honest, im not entirely sure what i need to accomplish this but im willing to learn all i need to do so.
Before i found OpenBCI i also looked into Emotiv and their EEG Headsets. But up until now i didnt get any feedback from them so i dont know how good that would work. As i said im still researching all this stuff and wanted to speed up the learning process in asking you guys if you could provide me with some more input on what i would have to buy and read through to get this working.
