Use Arduino Board to Get Your Brainwave Data

In this lesson, students will learn how to connect their Neuromaker BCI devices to a controllable board. Students will upload their BCI program to an Arduino Uno controller and use their attention score to control the speed of a blinking light.

This lesson will establish best practices for using serial port communication from NeuroMaker BCI headsets to a programmable controller. Once we have mastered this communication, we will be able to power any projects we want to control with our brain!
