Hi Mark! Sorry, I completely missed this message about you being interested in working on a EEG-related project. You are more than welcome to join BrainSquared [1] although, as Matt mentioned this project is not eligible for prizes because I work for Numenta. But it's a fun project :-) We just made an EEG encoder [2], and we plan to feed motor-imagery data [3] to a HTM classification network [4] to predict what the imagined motor movement is. As far as the EEG hardware goes, we are using the OpenBCI [5].
A few words about the classification network: For a research project at Numenta, I created the classification network as part of an experiment to classify generic sensor data. We are also using it for a NLP classification project at Numenta (Alex and Chetan). So far I have had good results with the classification of artificial sensor data, even with spatial and temporal noise [6]. So that should be interesting to apply this network to the classification of EEG data :-) Again, you are very welcome to join the team. Otherwise, if you are already in a team, I am happy to help if you want. You can probably re-use some of the things that we'll be using in BrainSquared (e.g. the EEG encoder or classification network) Let me know!
