Mind Link: A DIY Brain-Computer Interface Built from Scratch Creator, AstroSam, built a functional prototype of a brain-computer interface (BCI), called Mind Link. It reads brain signals from a simulated 32-electrode array and sends them to a computer to visualize right away and possibly process later. The build combines custom PCBs, firmware, and magnetic connectors. The project is open-source and documented from scratch. The system consists of… |
