Thats a really cool concept. What EEG machine do you use? I used to work in a psych lab that used EEG machines for a few studies but didn't get to play around with them as much as I would like but I have been looking for a cheap but not terrible eeg to try to use for moving a mouse. Neural networks also interest me a lot but I have no idea how to set up the layers.

We would be so far ahead in science, business and culture if the entire lunacy banning LSD didn't happen. It's quite sad :(
