About the solution
All of these situations led Conor to become a brain enthusiast, so he started hacking EEG by referring to some online and open-source tutorials.
Joel Murphy, the other OpenBCI co-founder, had created the Pulse Sensor, an optical heart rate monitor (with Yury Gitman). Conor met him because he had been hired as a subcontractor and helped in firmware development of this project. The Pulse Sensor got a lot of interest from the public, which led to a successful Kickstarter campaign (in 2011).
This helped build the path for the development of many other open-source, adaptable, and affordable human-computer interface technologies (mind-controlled devices).
So the team founded OpenBCI, a company that produces open-source innovation of brain-computer interface technologies, after another successful Kickstarter campaign, in 2013.
“Our Arduino compatible biosensing boards provide high-resolution imaging and recording of EMG, ECG, and EEG signals. Our BCI devices have been used by researchers, makers, and hobbyists in over 60+ countries as brain-computer interfaces to power machines and map brain activity. OpenBCI headsets, boards, sensors and electrodes allow anyone interested in biosensing, neurofeedback, and brain-computer interfacing to purchase high-quality equipment at affordable prices”, says on the official website.
Tempt One, a locked-in graffiti artist, has used the OpenBCI and the low-cost Eyewriter eye-tracking system to continue to draw after being diagnosed with ALS.
