Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Sheridan Institute of Technology and Advanced Learning
$25,000.00
Unreal SDK for Muse Brain Computer Interface
EF 2020-21
Résumé
Sheridan College's Screen Industries Research and Training Centre (SIRT) will work with partner company Interaxon Inc. the makers of Muse® the brain sensing headband, to prototype extensions to the Unreal Engine software development kit (SDK) for Interaxon's mobile electroencephalogram (mEEG) bio-signal device. These extensions will focus on the ability to accurately measure and align the time of audio-visual events produced by Unreal for virtual reality (VR) devices with mEEG signal data from Muse devices. This capability will open up new avenues for affordable research and development utilizing Muse mEEG data together with consumer VR devices. Areas likely to see the greatest benefit would include neuroscience research, therapeutic experiences, novel interactive experiences, and testing/validation of existing VR experiences. This accessible and affordable technology will benefit related research disciplines in Canada and enable Canadian software developers to create innovative new experiences and tools.
