Final Project Research - Final Proposal

This blog post will summarize the proposal for my final project. Translating Memories. A brainwave art installation. This project is based on a lot of things, but mainly from making art that is personal, unique, one-of-a-kind to the person involved in making it, because the art is created by their own personal memory. It will also allow people to express their feelings with the correspondent memory without having to say it out loud. The projected image will consist of abstract visual created by the combination of lines, shapes, and colors that follows the Geneva Emotion wheel . The Geneva Emotion wheel has been commonly known by psychologists to determine what human emotions are represented by what color and plotted on a 2D valence-activation graph. This project doesn't really have any particular target audience. Anyone and everyone are welcomed. Art enthusiast or just the curious mind. The value that I believe when creating this project is it is still uncommon to us...

Difference between MuseLab, MuseDirect, MuseIO, Muse Player and Muse Monitor

For those who are not familiar with all the applications that Muse provided and the third-party apps created to assist the Muse headband to its fullest use potential. There are actually 5 applications that are usually used by people to develop their work. These applications are different and serve various purposes according to the direction of the developers. The following excerpt is taken from the choosemuse forum (by Enigma644) Muse Lab is Interaxon’s (Muse's company name) Windows/Mac data visualization tool. It cannot connect to the Muse itself, rather, it listens for OSC data over the network. When initially opening the software, it’s blank and a bit confusing to add graphs. If you open this config file , it will set everything up for you and will start graphing as soon as it receives OSC data (over UDP port 5000). To send OSC data to Muse Lab, Interaxon provides two options: 1. MuseIO - This is a Windows/Mac program that connects to the older 2014 Muse and stream or r...

Experiment Update

So, recently I've tried to connect my Muse 2016 headband to MuseLab / MuseIO. The reason why I did it is to try out the Ristiaallokko experiment. So far, I haven't successfully built it. There are many factors to it. Being unfamiliar with C+ codes is one of them. I really don't know where to start and what to do to fix it. The second thing would be no familiar with Xcode. I don't know where are the options to fix the things they app warned. There is a lot of Googling needed to be done to even understand the errors the app mentioned.  One of the first things you would notice when using a newer version of Xcode or building a new system with an older version legacy map is that the Always Search User Paths (ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS) setting is set to YES, but is not supported by the new build system. Make sure to change the ALWAYS_SEARCH_USER_PATHS to NO and migrate to using modern header include syntax (for more info click  here ). Changing it to NO helps ...
