11:14 < fenn> ew
11:15 < kanzure> the damage is to the fingers, not the scalp at least
11:16 -!- randallagordon [~randallag@c-76-115-126-45.hsd1.or.comcast.net] has joined #hplusroadmap
11:16 < kanzure> the electrodes are made up of three parts- a metal layer, felt, and plastic keeping the felt and metal layer together
11:16 < kanzure> the plastic is circular of course, and has these plastic spikes on the side that are supposed to be helpful for "clicking" them into the slots on the headset
11:16 < kanzure> naturally, these spikes hurt

11:17 < fenn> the part that touches skin is smooth?

11:22 < kanzure> fenn: when the headset is put together and on your head, only felt is touching your head
11:22 < kanzure> er, and two rubber "electrodes" or thingies
11:22 < kanzure> they store the electrodes in what they call a "hydrator pack"
11:23 < kanzure> which is just a way of storing the felt so that it doesn't dry out. they give you this little saline bottle to wet them so they don't irritate your skin for the inevitable 20-hour gaming sessions
11:23 < kanzure> so, their website is absolutely terrible, and so is their business model
11:24 < kanzure> they have different .dll files for people with different licenses
11:24 < kanzure> if you pay $1k, you get the .dll that has access to the raw EEG data
11:24 < kanzure> but otherwise, if you're an application developer or something, you have to use the dumbed-down .dll file
11:24 < kanzure> which makes no sense to me because someone can just get the .dll and upload it
11:25 < fenn> oh i didnt realize they were wet electrodes
11:25 < fenn> so did you get the super dll file?
11:26 < fenn> i'm actually really surprised there isn't a linux driver for it yet
11:29 < kanzure> working on it :)
11:31 < fenn> why did you pick epoc vs OCZ neural impulse actuator, or some other thing, or all of them?
11:35 < fenn> ok OCZ nia sucks, nevermind

21:52 < klafka> the most buzzwordy ones i saw were some of the cyberinfrastructure ones
21:53 < kanzure> yep that's what this was
21:53 < kanzure> it was called "virtual organization for innovative conceptual engineering design" under the cyberinfrastructure program
21:53 < klafka> hahaha
21:54 < kanzure> sadly i am not shitting you :(
21:54 < klafka> we looked at one i can't remember which, we ended up going with an NIH grant for that proposal cycle
