Puzzlebox Telekinesis is community-based project to design and build custom-fit EEG headsets suitable for steering machines, playing videos games, and typing messages with brainwaves. We supply instructions and materials which can be assembled at home using common, every-day tools. All necessary software is available free of charge and published under open source licenses.
A variety of styles are available depending on the type of interaction desired, signal quality, and personal comfort.
