Feature Request: Simple Neurofeedback - assign tones to Band Power widget

[professorderekdecker]

I have the Ganglion and wish to practice changing brain states through meditation, concentration, etc. However, in order to have biofeedback, I currently have to look at the OpenBCI GUI screen. This is not conducive to meditative relaxation. I ask that the 5 brain wave ranges each be assigned a note in a chord (the major 7th or other melodious combination). With eyes closed, I'll be able to listen to the notes and learn how best to change them (aka brain states). It may also be useful to impose a modulation (slower modulation on the lower notes for lower brain wave ranges). That way, if your mind drifts away from recognizing notes, it can hone in on the modulation. Also, for those interested in combining this with binaural beats, we may need a binaural beats generator and mixer (to combine the biofeedback and beats stimulation).

By the way, I did try neuromore but was unable to get the Ganglion to connect. If another sound generating biofeedback device or software works with the Ganglion, then please let me know. Thank you.

You can try Brainflow + TimeFlux using OpenBCI hardware: https://doc.timeflux.io/latest/general/about.html

https://github.com/timeflux/timeflux_brainflow

The TimeFlux neurofeedback example is scheduled to be tested and added to the OpenBCI docs.

Also, this sounds doable, so I'm marking this issue as a new feature request! 😄

Hey Derek, it sounds like the ideal scenario for you would be to get the Ganglion working with Neuromore.

Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with neuromore. It seems like they added Cyton support at some point, but not for Ganglion. Am I correct?

We have a fresh new API for OpenBCI Boards: brainflow. It can be used in Python, Java, R, C++, C#, Matlab, Julia. I see that neuromore is open source and based in C++. Maybe the neuromore devs would be open to integrating brainflow. If they did, they would be adding support for all OpenBCI boards at once (and any boards we add in the future).

You can connect ganglion and cyton to neuromore using OSC proctocol. Stream the data from GUI to a python script and stream each channel to a specific OSC address.

Is there a video or website or pdf or anything that gives more detail about how to do this? Thank you, Derek

I downloaded and tried neuromore again. The same behavior occurs. It will briefly connect to the Ganglion, then disconnect and won't reconnect. Very frustrating! What is "OSC proctocol. Stream the data from GUI to a python script and stream each channel to a specific OSC address."? I have no idea what this means. How do I learn how to do this? Are there any examples I can download? Who has done this and how do I connect with them? Derek
