Can I read what the person thinking through electrodes or something similar?

I take it you want to use eye movements for data input (rather than reading people's thoughts, which would be silly to consider). It's not the greatest idea, efficiency wise, but may have its ...

Can brainwaves from EEG be used to measure enjoyment of media?

I think the question whether this experiment will give you useful data can be split into two parts: Does the EEG reflect the emotional state ? Does the stimulus (media,pictures) induce such an ...

Classification of EEG Signals

BCI has rougly two different approaches to extract features. I will address them both. When EEG is recorded, you can see an pattern of activity in a particular channel over time. This is the time-...
