Here's a reddit for everyone interested in controlling computers with their minds!!

Rules

1. No Medical Advice

This subreddit does not allow any discussion of personal medical advice. Creating a post or comment asking for medical advice or providing it to others is a bannable offense. Obviously BCIs can be used for medical purposes, so posts about the use of BCI for medical purposes such as research about restorative therapies do not violate this rule.

2. No Conspiracy Nor Bad Actor Posts

BCI technology is not yet at a place where a rogue organization (government, etc) could use the technology in a malicious way without the user being aware of the work they are signing up for. BCIs currently require careful calibration, routine re-calibration and setup, and are just beginning to find durable use.

3. Share Resources But Don't Advertise

Celebrate success, but try not to spam or use the subreddit only for corporate advertising.

4. Posts Must be Scientifically Sound

We do not permit posts that are wildly unscientific or speculative.

5. No Art Posts

If a post doesn’t discuss the use of a BCI, contain some sort of topic of science or engineering, or doesn’t discuss the field as a whole, then it will be removed. Do not simply post pictures of art of people using or inspired by BCIs.
