EMG / Neurofly / speller?
Hi,
Sorry for my bad English!
In the last years I tried to use EEG (p300 speller + Cyton board and your cap and electrodes) to facilitate the communication to my daughter (she is a disabled girl). I got a lot of problems because Laura is not able to look at a position of the screen for many seconds.
I saw a beautiful video
In this video Christian Bayerline succeeded to command a drone using EMG waves (your Conor Russomanno!)
Therefore I tried to use EMG waves with Laura using my Cyton board and your EMG electrodes.
I saw something good! I put 2 electrodes (only one signal) on her forehead and at my command she moved her forehead and I saw the EMG wave go up. A little but for me important news.
Now I need to have a special software to train Laura in this new attempt: I could ask to a programmer to write the code to use the EMG waves producted by Openbci gui (updated with Neurofly toolkit).
Have you some suggestion? (Is Openbci gui developed in Java?)
Last question: do you know if is there a EMG speller that I can connect to Openbci gui?
Thank you
Etc

Hi Etc,
Nice going with your Neurofly tests.
re: P300 spellers
Those spellers based on P300 are sometimes hard to train or configure for your subject. There is another type of BCI paradigm based on VEP Visual Evoked Potentials. Here are two tutorials by Piotr, recently posted to Community page:

re: OpenBCI GUI programming language
OpenBCI GUI is written in the 'Processing' language, which is a superset of Java.

re: EMG speller?
I've not heard of one, but I did run across something called VoiceIt, an AI platform that can interpret non-standard speech patterns and output text.

Thank you very much for your answers!
PS I would like to say to you because I think that for Laura the EMG (neurofly) solution could be better: with the P300 speller but also with a VEP speller Laura has to look at the screen for a lot of time during the training of the classifier; and, in real time, she has to look at the chosen letter on the screen for more than one time (with the P300 speller also 10-15 times for the row and 10-15 times for the column).
