Re: [O] Mindwave Emacs. EEG reading and Data gathering in an org-mode buffer.
Hi Jonathan, does that mean we can mark the point * TODO org-mode should read my mind from the requested org-mode feature list ;) I think your example is great but frighten to be very specific to really get attention. However, it might make a nice example for presentations etc. Similar like the emacs coffee maker stuff. On the other hand it might be very interesting to get a general idea how to add data from devices to org-mode. Many measurement devices utilize USB, RS232 or even network interfaces to communicate (beside of the industrial standards). It would be great to have infos how e.g. to read data from a serial port and add them to org-mode. The internet-famous Arduino board could serve as an example. Communication would be even more awesome. Once I tried to use org-babel talking to a device connected via USB (emulated serial port). The protocol was rather simple but could be lengthy to type in over and over again. I was hopping to define babel blocks which serve as macro containers and combine them into bigger scripts. However, this did not work as well, I guess partially because of the bridge of org-shell-terminal-command If you could help to describe e.g. a raw communication port for babel that might be interesting. #+begin_src: raw :port /dev/tty1 :serpar 115200,8,1,N :results output command command command command #+end_src #+result response response response response With the right set of parameters one could fetch real world data directly into org-mode files.

Re: [O] Mindwave Emacs. EEG reading and Data gathering in an org-mode buffer.
Something this thread might be interested in. I proposed a project a couple of years ago called the Quantified Coder, basically looking at hooking as many biometrics as possible into emacs. There's a small presentation on it at http://www.openyou.org/2011/05/13/the-quantified-coder/ Unfortunately it never got off the ground due to lots of reasons, but I'd still love to get it going sometime. If anyone needs help with getting devices talking (whether they have open drivers or not :) ), that's pretty much what I do. :D I still wonder if org is the right medium for this. Most of the devices are going to give you a TON of data (the neurosky raw stream is ~500hz update, emotiv is ~128hz, etc...). Pedometers and blood pressure monitors that do one-time large dumps might be somewhat more feasible.

You can use a process that samples for a given amount of time and produces a summary of the results (or perhaps a table, which then can be summarized using babel/calc/R/etc.) That might be better suited to org's MO.

Re: [O] Mindwave Emacs. EEG reading and Data gathering in an org-mode buffer.
Hey Kyle Right now I am working with the course-grained (1/sec) data sets from the Mindwave. They provide their eSense(tm) measurements as well as the eegPower, which seems to give a general overview of the different brainwave levels in relation to each-other (but not much else). This actually works out really well, because you can dump the data to an org table, and then as Nick said, use babel/calc/R to dow hat you need to do with it. There is a function inside of the data-gathering package that handles that pretty nicely (albeit slowly) with calc. Of course, this is all very course grained, but it is working nicely for my current experiments! My intention is to eventually connect to the lower level serial Neurosky interface for the raw EEG wave data with emacs, and send the both the EEG data and a timestamp straight to a file. This might be a blind alley however. The idea of quantified coding sounds awesome! The question is, how does one marry up a line of code, with a particular neurological state, especially since a given line of code isn't a static entity that one can easily refer to? __ Jonathan Arkell Sr. Developer Inspired By Drum Bass, Scheme, Kawaii p. 403.206.4377 1011 9th Ave SE, Suite 300 Calgary, AB, Canada T2G 0Y4 jonath...@criticalmass.com criticalmass.com On 5/09/12 12:30 PM, Kyle Machulis k...@nonpolynomial.com wrote: Something this thread might be interested in.
