The Emotiv EPOC
headset is the most advanced mass-produced consumer-grade EEG headset on
the market. It has 14 electrodes (as opposed to NeuroSky's
single-electrode and OCZ's three-electrode headsets) and it can also
detect head movement using a built-in gyroscope. The EPOC uses its
sensors to detect changes in electrical activity using EEG monitoring
techniques that let it detect facial gestures and estimate roughly
relative mood states.
Emotiv's intent with the EPOC is to...
