Because I am going to turn this into a published article I have taken a bulk of the article down I have left part of the abstract and conclusion for the interest of people.

Please see the videos at the end to see it in action. If you have any questions please contact me in the email in the footer of this page.

The Main Experiment: Can you use this to control geophysical software?

Proof of Concept BCI Electromagnetic Computing Case Study

Brain computer interface (BCI) systems are beginning to emerge as one of the most breakthrough technologies of the 21st century. As is the case with other developing technologies, proof of concept must be demonstrated before advanced methods are pursued. This article presents the first published case study of a brain controlled geophysical software package. Our results show that processed brainwaves from the NeuroSky MindWave electroencephalography (EEG) device can be used to control various geophysical survey parameters with an acceptable degree of accuracy and to model the corresponding data in real-time.

Conclusion

The results show that it is possible to control geophysical software using a BCI system..... the experiment did show some level of connection between thought level and the effect on parameter variation. The emerging field of BCI systems has many hurdles to clear before reaching functionality but we hope this pioneering proof of concept experiment demonstrates the feasibility of future brain computing applications in geophysics.

Final Word

Who cares about efficacy. Like everyone else I have decided to define success as line honours and as a result the

FIRST BRAIN CONTROLLED GEOPHYSICAL SOFTWARE IN THE WORLD WAS CREATED!***

***I have not included in my assessment possible "Skunkworks research projects" which may or may not exist in the basements of Schlumberger, Shell, BP and other black ops geophysics departments.

Paradoxically I personally do not like using my brain to control a computer. It is a jarring experience and suffered a pretty bad headache after 8 hours of use at the electrodes of the NeuroSky MindWave . It was a result either from concentrating too much or from the device itself. More likely the prior, as switching your attention on and off is mentally taxing. The technology is also a little too 'Brave New World' for me.
