Look mum, no hands! — Brain controlled JavaScript

on YouTube ↗25m

" summary

Built an open source Node.js addon that talks to an Epoch brain sensor and the Composer emulator, exposing live data for facial expressions, gyro and mental commands. Demos include a brain keyboard and recorded web‑VR control; demos work but are flaky live and require per‑user training and noticeable latency. Emotive/Epoch hardware uses about 14 sensors and exposes roughly 15 actions (blinks, look left/right, focus, push/pull), practical but limited.
