OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA)

I'm current testing with OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) EEG Headband and a LG 3D Monitor to make a custom profile to combine it with the rift so good as possible :). Hope my Rift is arriving soon.

    OCZ NIA will not be suitable for eye-tracking.
    You can very reliably detect eye-movement ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrooculography ), but you wont be able to figure out the direction your retina is pointing, from that data.

    So:

    Eye-tracking - no
    REM-detection - yes

    In the official NIA jargon it is called "Glance". And they try to guess a direction for that "Glance", but it doesn't work reliably.

    NIA with REM-detection has been part of experiments around lucid dreaming in the past.

    Thanks for the input. I suppose I'll have to investigate other options.It would be nice to not have to make my own EOG for these purposes and just use one available to the market, but I suppose having the feature for my group for a little bit won't be that bad. Thanks again for the information. :)

    Is Emotive still running the nasty licensing talked about in the old thread?
