ThinkGear is the technology inside every NeuroSky product or partner product that enables the device to interface with the wearers’ brainwaves.
It includes:
- the sensor that touches the forehead,
- the contact and reference points located on the ear pad, and
- the onboard chip that processes all of the data.
- Both the raw brainwaves and the eSense Meters (Attention and Meditation) are calculated on the ThinkGear™ chip. The calculated values are output by the ThinkGear chip, through the headset, to a PC.
Types of data output from ThinkGear chips:
- Raw sampled wave values (128Hz or 512Hz, depending on hardware)
- Signal poor quality metrics
- eSense Attention and Meditation meter values
- EEG band power values for delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma
- and more… (some hardware models only)
APIs
http://developer.neurosky.com/docs/doku.php?id=which_api_is_right_for_me
ThinkGear Connector (TGC)
- runs in the background of your Windows or Mac OS X system, managing connections to MindSet headsets, and streaming the data to standard TCP/IP sockets that can be read by the applications you write (which can be in any language and on any system).
ThinkGear Communications Driver? (TGCD)
- a shared library of functions with an easy-to-use but well-documented API which facilitate the tasks of connecting to headsets and parsing the data streams.
- TGCD is available as a .dll? for Windows and Windows Mobile systems, and a .bundle? for Mac OS X systems, which can be called directly from C/C++ code.
