<DIV>The missing part of the story is the included app, which is mentioned at
Indiegogo but not in great detail because it’s currently under development and
it’s hard to know exactly where software will end up.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The main goal of the app is to help people build their attention ability,
to gain the benefits already evidenced by mindfulness meditation. When the
product goes on retail sale, this app will be complete and will be the main
sales focus, much like Zeo doesn’t mention brainwaves anywhere on their home
page: their product is a “sleep manager”. Since that is not possible yet, the
crowdfunding campaign focuses on the headband itself, and on the appearance of a
new platform for developers who might like to experiment and to create
third-party apps.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>InteraXon’s intention is to take brainwave apps much more mainstream than
in the past, which requires easy-to-use decent-looking hardware (no
liquids/gels, no ear clips, no stalks) and a reason to use it that’s worth
paying for (an app that many people will want). This will be a real consumer
product, like the Zeo is, and the expectation is that way more people will buy
it than any brainwave-based product to date.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I’d encourage anyone who has questions to post them as comments on the
Indiegogo site, so that they’ll get answers.</DIV>

had some weird questions on this too. Coming from a guy who wants to try to use
EEG to make big giant flame effects go boom, I'm confused as to why this is
different from the Neurosky headsets, or any of the hacks available on the
market. Is it merely looks? Or is there something more to the story that I am
missing? Note that all I want to do is (essentially) turn an LED on or off based
on an attentive vs. meditative state.
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>...and by LED I mean flame cannon...but the idea is pretty much the
same!</DIV>

with a lot of questions about noise and other specifications. What
version of Bluetooth, for example? I assume they are using an active
ground (6 electrodes = 2 channels), though they say "4 sensors" at one point
in the video.
