I just worked on something similar at a hackathon this weekend with the Muse Headband, it was really fun. We used a support vector machine to maximize the "calmness" output of the band, which is some weighted sum of gamma and beta waves I believe.
fyi, this doesn't make sense.
I like this a lot but, in my opinion, the pricing is way too high and keeps me from giving you money. I'd buy it as a $5 app, for sure.
My guess is that they need to price it low enough not to scare ppl away, but if it works, then ppl will pay a lot.

This was custom-made by the way.

How so? We give it different variables and let it change them incrementally. Calmness is a 0.0 - 1.0 floating point output from the band. This was custom-made by the way.

I've been doing this stuff for a while and I love talking about it.
I've contacted Giovanni, our lead neuroscientist, so hopefully he'll be able to get on soon as well.
I'm a regular of HN and it's wild to see something of mine up here.

really? If it works for you then isn't this worth an incredible amount of money (i.e. if you can focus for longer and get more productive work out of the same hours)? If it doesn't work then its worth $0. My guess is that they need to price it low enough not to scare ppl away, but if it works, then ppl will pay a lot.
No.

No, it's worth about $5 to me.
I was providing my perspective as a would-be customer interested in the product, nothing more.
Been using Brain.fm for a few months now. Incredibly boosted performance programming on my end.

So, tried it and was enjoying it a lot, helped me to focus writing (finally) on a particular chapter of a book I've been dreading for some reason. So, I get in the zone and then click! internet error. Had to refresh, and now it demands I complete a survey and register... grumble grumble. :/ Cool site though, good luck.
