IBVA.com wrote: Translate brainwaves to MIDI on Mac or Windows!
With this Expansion Pak you can use your live brain activity to send MIDI messages via your installed MIDI connections! (QuickTime, OMS, soundcard, etc.) Before you could even purchase MIDI compatible equipment anywhere, the IBVA System was compatible with the original MIDI specification. Another first from the IBVA! We also do it best! That's right, we put brainwaves and MIDI together before most people had even heard of it. Many years ago we even prevented a US Patent attempt by a (we'll be nice, no names) company that wanted to stop us from selling brainwave to MIDI equipment. We alerted the company and the Patent Office to the fact that we were doing public displays of brainwave MIDI control almost a decade before their company had even existed. Their patent never went through and brainwave to MIDI communication is safe and free today. That shows 'em for trying to put the hurt on IBVA! And of course this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain-computer_interf ace |

No MIDI but I did brain-to-CV in the early 1970s. Popular Electronics or some similar magazine published plans and part lists for a brainwave monitor with alpha-beta-theta filters and all. A little simple integration on the outputs, some level translation stuff, and bingo. Shame my tiny homebrew synth wasn't up to doing anything musically useful with the CVs. :-S But it did work, within the operator's ability to control his or her brainwave activity. |

Are you sure it wasn't your tiny homebrew brain that was the limiting factor...  
I've always thought it would be interesting to play with this sort of thing. I find it hard to concentrate though and my brain can career off at tangents at any given moment so I'm slightly scared what might happen! I bet runagate would like the results though! |

Is this the new piece of hardware you're saving up so diligently for, Runagate?!? |

MIDI is so September 10th. Forget brain-to-MIDI, I need something more like brain-as-DSP-to-satellite-link where any sound I think is instantly created, beamed to a telecom satellite and then back down to every cell phone, digital TV/radio in the world--as well as broadcast in hi-def across teh internets tubes.
 
Hmm, there's a good sci-fi book in that idea. |

NYT on cochlear implants
http://www.newscientisttech.com/article/dn12046-ne w-implant-may-bring-music-to-the-deaf.html In the popularized story I originally saw about neural as opposed to cochlear implants they showed a jack in the head and interviewed someone about the possibility of the reverse - brain to audio, which is entirely possible but due to reasons that are too longwinded to get into here having to do with the location of "auditory imagination" it'd have to be different neural areas but still it's not so far off. The original story quoted it at 60k $ for the head jack and I personally am gonna start saving up hehe. Meffy and T-Con, I find boith of those posts informative and fascinating. Thanks 
Jazzy, unfortunately, no. That's this thing: |

when you have the balls to midi deal, perhaps you can play some rock and/or roll... |
