Technology & Friends: Mind Reading and Machine Learning

  • Article

I was very honored to have been asked to be on another episode of David Giard’s webcast Technology & Friends. 

In this episode, we discussed my latest project: using a headset from Emotiv which reads EEG waves from your brain and sending that data into Azure Machine Learning to do lie detection (attempt to predict if someone is telling the truth or lying based on the EEG data). 

The video is available at https://technologyandfriends.com/SubText/archive/2015/07/13/tf374.aspx or below. 

NOTE: I’m not wearing the headset properly in the video.  David and I recorded very quickly before I had to run to the airport, so I didn’t put the sensor pads on the device, and it’s falling off my head the whole time.  Just FYI in case someone else wants to try to use it – don’t follow this example.  :)
