      I would be honored to participate. I’ve been dreaming of making music with my brainwaves since I was a child. I use heart rate monitors, thermal and moisture sensors, blood pressure monitors, and more to compose music. I don’t have access to these EEG monitors which would seal the deal for me. Please please include me in that episode 🙏

    brainwaves (alpha, beta, etc) are defined by their frequency ranges so I would assume the vertical axis of the graph is amplitude, not frequency. The colors/names are frequency and they get more or less intense (amplitude) over time.
    EDIT: I saw that is says "dB" now on the graph, so indeed, it's amplitude in decibels.

      @@607something J Cole said months ago lead to Drake and Kendrick having a beef. Beefs are common in rap, what makes it not normal is Kendrick saying Drake is/associates with pedophiles and allegedly participates in sex trafficking. Basically trying to nuke Drake's career. Not a small claim to make, but stuff like the video of Drake kissing a 17 year old *after* she says her age doesn't exactly help him.

    Well that was definitely interesting - I wonder, if you wired different waves into different things like maybe have 2 waves controlling pitch, one on a bass scale & another mid-range and have the other waves controlling other things, that could be a viable instrument you could learn to control. I think it probably depends on having it fairly consistent and practising it regularly. Definitely worth further investigation.

    This is so cool! I wanted to see more applications.
    I would love to see someone do a soundtrack to a video game (like Minecraft) where the base of the songs start with brain wave midi from playing the game. I'm fine with things being manually added to perfect and fine tune the songs that people ultimately hear hundreds of times... but how cool would it be to know that the base of the song came from someone doing something similar to what you're doing. I'm thinking songs that are triggered in certain areas or for certain activities (exploring a jungle, swimming in the ocean, fighting a dragon).

    Then get Rob to do the same thing and compare how your brains differ when writing music.

    How much does a brainwave reader cost? I liked the simplicity of that headband, but I have seen consumer-oriented brainwave equipment which has more sensors, which seems like it would be ... better. I'm also dubious about equipment that depends on proprietary software, like I guess that phone app is for this unit. If the company goes out of business, your expensive hardware is suddenly useless. Is their any consumer brainwave reader option that uses open source software?

    for anyone wondering what the vertical axis of the graph is (1:53), it is the overall amplitudes of different sections of the brainwave frequency spectrum. in other words, the headset splits your brain activity into many different frequency bands (e.g delta waves are slower), and the average vertical measure of each of those at any given moment are graphed.

    I really feel like you could make a modular instrument to work seamlessly with the head band, you could have presets and scales, call it PreKog. People would be all over that, even none musicians. The headband is interesting but once you are able to hone in those signals in a controlled way there is so much potential, not just in music but therapy and brain training, muscle memory.
