Demonstration of basic operations

Basic operations that Brain Tag system performs, are demonstrated using Max 5 for data harvesting/sorting algorithm. This has two distinct advantages:

  • Modular in nature. Logic and graphing code can be separated from device code. This allows easy switching between various EEG devices.
  • The generated data is both extremely small and easy to manipulate. It is saved in simplyformatted plain text files. If a user were to save all of the information generated over the course of a day, it would only add up to a few megabytes.

The Max data is saved as eight data points per second: One point for each major brainwave, along with a timing marker. We chose one second, as the emotions worth measuring should each last for at least a few seconds. This also cuts down on the amount of space that the data takes up, as much of this data will be stored in an online account.
