I recently recorded an episode of .NET Rocks (episode 702) on the subject of the Emotiv EPOC Neuroheadset. The episode covers the headset, the technology behind it, the Expressiv suite (facial detection), the Affectiv suite (detection of emotional state), the Cognitiv suite (detection of conscious thought), along with the applications for this technology including gaming market, applications for the physically impaired and the research potential.

I have to say that recording it was a whole load of fun (although I suspect it was difficult for Carl and Richard to shut me up as I love to go on and on when I'm really into something).

Thanks again to Carl Franklin and Richard Campbell for inviting me on to the show. And congratulations on the very many hundreds of episodes you have created. Looking forward to show #1000.

The DDD South West Team is delighted to announce that DDD South West 4 will be held at UWE, Bristol, on Saturday 26th May 2012. There will be all the usual DDD South West fun and games along with the usual 4 regular technical tracks, the return of the "+1" Repeat Track (back by popular demand), the Balloon Debate and the Getting Started In .NET Track. There will be a call for speakers and as usual we will be looking for lunch time grok talks from new speakers and micro-presentations from experienced speakers.

Note that this weekend is not a bank holiday weekend. The usual May bank holiday has been put back one week to coincide with the Queen's Golden Jubilee.
