Brain-Computer Interfaces

BCI Guitar Pedal

Neural interface that translates brain & muscle signals into instrument effect modulation.

Overview

This project uses EEG (electroencephalography) and EMG (electromyography) signals to control audio effect parameters in real-time, creating a hands-free experience for musicians.

Instrumentation & Communication

• EMG analogue / digital signal processing.
• Embedded Zephyr/C++ RTOS development.
• Bluetooth LE-enabled comms w/sub-40μs latency.

Ground Module: Processing & Audio Effects

• Target platforms:
  • Raspi 4/5, NVIDIA Jetson
  • NXP i.MX RT1170 microcontroller family
• Instrument Effects: Overdrive and distortion, commercial quality circuit design, bench-tested.
• Statistical ML feature processing w/engagement-based reinforcement learning development capacity.

Getting Started

Instructions for setting up development environment and hardware configurations will be added soon.
