About Cloudbrain

Cloudbrain @ The Exploratorium of San Francisco

Cloudbrain was in use at the Exploratorium as part of the Exhibit called Cognitive Technologies.

William wrote an article about our work for the the Exploratorium Exhibit.

All the EEG headsets in the exhibit are sending data to Cloudbrain. This data is being routed to booths where visitors can control different things with their brain. For visitors who are willing to share their data, Cloudbrain computes aggregates and displays a baseline of the average brain. On the central screen, visitors can see everyone else's live EEG data. Each radar chart shows the state of the main brainwaves (alpha, beta, theta, gamma, delta). This is particularly interesting to see how one's brain compares to others, or to understand how it reacts to different stimuli.

Over 30 people played a role in the project, many of them building insanely awesome booths connected to Cloudbrain: 3D-printed lighted flowers, Virtual Reality rock levitation, EEG/Heart Rate Variability correlation, and EEG reactive light tables, a brain-controlled robotic arm, 3D brain reconstructions, and fMRI algorithms. It. Was. Awesome.
