Jonathan’ Status Report for 02/19/2022

This week, much of my work was blocked by purchasing and licensing issues associated with the Emotiv application and ECE purchasing. We obtained the license to collect data from the EmotivPro API on Wednesday. I spent Wednesday experimenting with the enabled features that a fully licensed EmotivPro application can obtain. I then applied for the separate developer license from Emotiv to allow data collection through a third-party application out of the Emotiv ecosystem. We plan to poll data from the Emotiv API in our final product and this license gives us the ability to do so. I also did some more experimentation with calibrating and collecting data from the Emotiv Insight and am formulating a data collection schema to sample enough data for building an initial ML model to recognize our desired user actions. I plan to use the EmotivPro application to collect continuous and marked recordings of EEG waves with our desired features. From there, I will export the files and automate creating separate test samples from the data. This will allow us to pull features from our data. Using this method, I hope to collect around 100-200 total samples for building our signal processing model. My final task for this week included scoping out parts for building the EMG input to our product, which allowed me to build a detailed block diagram for our design presentation.
