The experiment combines the hardware of NeU’s XB-01 headset, a small sensor that monitors cerebral bloodflow via near-infrared spectroscopy, with the software of Bandai’s “ZEONIC TECHNICS Robotics and Programming Course I”, a smart phone app that allows users to remote control a miniature toy Zaku.
Information from the sensor is relayed via wi-fi to the smart phone app, which interprets the brain activity and allows the user to input 3 pre-programmed commands based on the amount of cerebral bloodflow.
The commands are then sent to the motorized Zaku toy via wi-fi, and the toy moves in response.
