Re: Mindwave Emacs. EEG reading and Data gathering in an org-mode buffer.

[Kyle Machulis <kyle@nonpolynomial.com>]

Something this thread might be interested in. I proposed a project a
couple of years ago called the Quantified Coder, basically looking at
hooking as many biometrics as possible into emacs. There's a small
presentation on it at

http://www.openyou.org/2011/05/13/the-quantified-coder/

Unfortunately it never got off the ground due to lots of reasons, but
I'd still love to get it going sometime. If anyone needs help with
getting devices talking (whether they have open drivers or not :) ),
that's pretty much what I do. :D

I still wonder if org is the right medium for this. Most of the
devices are going to give you a TON of data (the neurosky raw stream
is ~500hz update, emotiv is ~128hz, etc...). Pedometers and blood
pressure monitors that do one-time large dumps might be somewhat more
feasible.
