This is the repo with all the code I used to make a mind controlled shock collar that got me accepted to exhibit at [Open Sauce!](https://opensauce.com)
|
||
|
|
It also includes all the EEG data I collected while exhibiting at Open Sauce, atleast for day 1. You can find it all in `data.final.day.one`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
*Please note that this is the code in its spaghetti, unclean, rapidly-finished-hours-before-I-left-for-Open-Sauce, glorious mess. So don't expect too much.*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It uses the [Mindflex](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mindflex) toy and the [Brain](https://github.com/kitschpatrol/Brain) Arduino library to get the EEG values. It then sends them to the server.
|
||
|
|
The Mindflex and collar both use a ESP8266 in order to communicate data back to the server over UDP. This means that the entire setup is wireless.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can then use it from a web interface that uses Flask and [Chart.js](https://www.chartjs.org/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can use this web interface to play the "game"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For a more detailed overview on how this all works, you can see my blog post here. (Not finished writing)

## The "Game"
|

|
To play the game itself, you put on both the collar and Mindflex, and you set a threshold (red line) for either meditation or attention. If you pass this threshold, you will be shocked with a varying power level depending on how far you got from the threshold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if you set the meditation threshold to something like 80, and the condition to be going above, you would get shocked the second that you start to relax.
