interface and audio neurogame

neurosky-supercollider

A NeuroSky and SuperCollider interface. An audio neurogame.

The interface (neurogame) has two main parts:

• neurofeedback system
• sequencer (can be accessed separately as a GUI)

'eeg-devices/neurosky' folder contains documents and mac driver for NeuroSky.

extra:

1. sequencer can send messages to InScore via R.Hoadley's SuperCollider class;

log

• 0.2.2

  • added last version of InScore experiment;

• 0.2.1

  • Fredik adds synths suggestions;
  • some minor changes (manual update): new mix in islets, changed reward tasks;

• 0.2

  • added new mapping to islet1;
  • user can change TTH as well on GUI;

• 0.1.9

  • fix for compressor synth (Fredrik)

• 0.1.8

  • NeuroSky docs and driver added to extra folders;
  • organise synths;
  • made arguments clearer in functions after .value (added UX)
  • panning Ugen parameters are slightly different in each constantSynth. they are can be controlled by the eSenses. one side of the Pan is the same, so when 2 synths are mapped to different eSenses (the higher a value the more in phase the sounds are, the lower, the less in phase)
  • victory sound on track 9 (each islet the same)
  • 3 islets (no sea), challenges are there, but they don't move (so no pressure, users can choose each islet manually)' '
  • synths removed;

• 0.1.7 (2020-07-09)

  • can choose which eSense controls constantSynth parameter. can add 3rd synth that can be controlled by both (change0 and change 3) in ~fadeConstantSynts
  • manual threshold added (~rewCalcTask simplified)
  • new GUI;
  • automove disables;
  • enter straight into sea (new practice)

• 0.1.6 (2016-09-05)

• 0.1.3.7 (2016-06-05)

TODO

• in sequencer GUI (and perhaps neurogame) add control for how random certain parameters in the synths should be - this could add more variety to the music, especially when it is long looped compositions;
• better victory sound, perhaps different one for all islets
• why is slider posting?
• make videos (nf and sequencer)
• make reset load at the beginning of each island (~loadFile.value(track:{all},filename:0);)
• make each islet sound good (rewards, victor sound) - try to use as many reward types as possible;
• if max counter is above the current save max, than start counting: update GUI as well;
• TTH should restart when signal goes below TH (not when it goes above TH again)

later:

• check scale arrays in generate.scd
• clean code;
• make new CMW videos;

NOTE

• tracks start from 0, not 1 (need to be consistent when talking, naming, commenting, etc; )
