We started the project with biofeedback in gaming, hoping that we would create a horror game similar to Nevermind. To start our research, we ordered MindWave, which is a device that records brain wave signals. Then, out of nowhere, we got the news that Helana was no longer going to attend ELRO. That news hit us hard because she was the most knowledgable on coding. However, as one door closes another one opens. Shortly after losing Helana, we gained Sebastian and Esteban. They joined our group after they found out that their project had already been done. Ever since we've merged teams, it has been much easier to make progress because we work in parallel. While Ryan and I work on exporting brain wave data in order to use that in an application, Esteban and Sebastian have been working on the application itself. Another impactful moment in our group was when Mr. Lin introduced us to Open Vibe. This was the software that we needed in order to obtain raw data and use that raw data to our advantage. We've been stuck for a while, unfortunately, because although we are obtaining numerical data, we do not know how to export the data into a .csv file. To overcome this set back, we've been doing more research on the blocks in Open Vibe. Just yesterday we found a block known as "csv file writer" which we believe may be the answer to our problems.
Application Team: Esteban C. & Sebastian C.
We started off working with the mindwave technology. Our goal is to build an app that will be able to incorporate this technology into the app. We started off using Xcode, the application used to build apple apps. As we started working and tweaking the sample app that was provided to us, we hit many roadblocks that were beyond our intellectual scopes. It is beyond our knowledge of coding. We tried to incorporate storyboard into this app but that was impossible for us. We then switched over to an android system. We started off using eclipse but the android developers page recommended using android studio, there own program for running apps. Our current problem is not being able to get android studio to run smoothly. We've tried multiple ways to get the code to run on android studio but this is turning out to be more difficult than what we expected. The current roadblock that we have is not being able to run the code on an android device or an android emulator that comes in android studio. We have watched multiple tutorials and have done extensive research but we cannot come up with the solution to the problem. Every time that we come close, something else fails and brings us right back to square one. Due to this problem, progress lately has been stagnate. We are reading through developer documents in the android developer website to see if there is anyway to troubleshoot this problem.
