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!

Marion
