#Overview

Cloudbrain is a platform for real-time sensor data analysis and visualization.
One type of sensor data that works well with cloudbrain is EEG data. EEG is the recording of electrical activity along the scalp. In other words, brainwaves.

Cloudbrain enables you to:

• Stream sensor data into a central database.
• Analyze sensor data to find spatial and temporal patterns.
• Visualize sensor data and patterns in real-time.

• Setup instructions
• API documentation

CloudBrain was in use at the Exploratorium as part of the Exhibit called Cognitive Technologies.

William wrote an excellent post about our work for the the Exploratorium Exhibit.

All the EEG headsets in the exhibit are sending data to CloudBrain. This data is being routed to booths where visitors can control different things with their brain. For visitors who are willing to share their data, CloudBrain computes aggregates and displays a baseline of the average brain. On the central screen, visitors can see everyone else's live EEG data. Each radar chart shows the state of the main brainwaves (alpha, beta, theta, gamma, delta). This is particularly interesting to see how one's brain compares to others, or to understand how it reacts to different stimuli.

Over 30 people played a role in the project, many of them building insanely awesome booths connected to CloudBrain: 3D-printed lighted flowers, Virtual Reality rock levitation, EEG/Heart Rate Variability correlation, and EEG reactive light tables, a brain-controlled robotic arm, 3D brain reconstructions, and fMRI algorithms. It. Was. Awesome.
