Consumer grade EEG devices: are they usable for control tasks?

Abstract: We present the evaluation of two well-known, low-cost consumer-grade EEG devices: the Emotiv EPOC and the Neurosky MindWave. Problems with using the consumer-grade EEG devices (BCI illiteracy, poor technical characteristics, and adverse EEG artefacts) are discussed. The experimental evaluation of the devices, performed with 10 subjects asked to perform concentration/relaxation and blinking recognition tasks, is given. The results of statistical analysis show that both devices exhibit high variability and non-n… Show more

“…A survey of most of them along with a comparison are conducted in [11], where the Emotiv Epoc headset [12] was evaluated as the most usable low-cost device. More precisely, a comparison between the Emotiv Epoc headset and the Neurosky headset was conducted in several works, confirming the outperforming of the former one [11], [13]. The Emotiv Epoc headset has 14 electrodes located on AF3, F7, F3, FC5, T7, P7, O1, O2, P8, T8, FC6, F4, F8, and AF4 positions as shown in Figure 2.…”

“…The headset was used with a Bluesmirf silver module and an Arduino to capture and parse the data. Although some studies have been quite critical of the Mindwave [18], others [19] find it adequate for capturing simple EEG data. We found that the use of a conductive gel and careful placing of the electrode improved accuracy.…”
