One might see some interesting results if they were to plug an EEG hat into a cell phone.

Things that could be tracked:

  • Moods vs location vs time.
  • Moods vs location vs heartrate vs time vs sleep cycle.
The sensors installed in the headband allow one's brain wave signal to be converted into control signals. OCZ turned the previous RS-232 serial port connection into the more common USB interface, and uses DirectX API for multi-threaded importation of commands.
