summary

Discusses using consumer-grade EEG hardware—NeuroSky, Emotiv, and the open-hardware OpenBCI—for UX/UI research to measure users’ mental state. Compares each headset’s data types, pros and cons (including proprietary SDK/licensing issues vs. OpenBCI’s openness), and reviews open-source tools and libraries to acquire EEG signals. Shows how signals for concentration/relaxation and arousal/rejection can be extracted to infer positive/negative emotions and gives example FLOSS UI testing scenarios.
