pymindwave

Read and plot data from a NeuroSky MindWave Headset.

This repository contains three components:

  • a Python3 module mindwave which communicates with a MindWave headset
  • a CLI script which reads data from the above module and publishes them using ZMQ
  • a PyQt4-UI which plots available data using Qwt5

There are projects like this already but the best way to get to know a gadget is to program it on your own (and the other projects didn't work for me or where poorly written :))
