Control IoT devices with thought power using Mindwave headset

What is Electroencephalography (EEG)What is Electroencephalography (EEG)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain.

Mindwave EEG mobile measures the electrical activity of the brain and measures alpha and beta waves, recording the attention and meditation levels of the user and transmits this data wirelessly to your computer or smartphone via bluetooth.
