Hardware Specifications

- MindWave by NeuroSky

- Logic level converter

- IR Receiver

- IR Transmitter

- Arduino Uno

Requirements

- Get and interpret EEG readings from user.

- Have a reasonable mapping of EEG readings to commands.

- Transmit corresponding commands over IR to a TV.

Risks

-Low resolution mindwave readings. This may be fixed by eliminating less necessary functionality from the device.

-Inconsistent readings across multiple users. We may fix this by tuning the readings to a specific member of the group or attempting to add additional sensors to increase precision.

-The user is unable to control the device effectively. To fix this we can add more consistent input such as eye-blink.
