In the last lesson, we learned how to control the LED light included on our UNO board. Now it’s time to break out our other electronics and build our very first BCI-enabled circuit! We are going to hook up three different LED lights to our circuit that will act very similar to the project we worked on last time. Each one will indicate different levels of our attention state.


By completing this project, you will have created your first multi-actuator BCI project! In non-nerd speak, this means you will have controlled multiple devices, in this case, 3 LED lights, with your brain.


Project Duration

Approximately one hour


Group

1- 2 students per materials set


Necessary Supplies

  • One NeuroMaker BCI Unit

  • One Uno Board

  • USB cable

  • Computer

  • At least four Male to Male Jumper Wires

  • Three current limiting resistors (This above video uses 250 Ohm resistors)

  • Three LED lights: One red, one yellow and one blue

  • One Breadboard

  • Necessary Program Files (Code will be provided in the lesson)


Precheck Items  

  • NeuroMaker BCI Unit is fully charged.

  • NeuroMaker BCI Connect Software is running properly.
