# Summary of #hplusroadmap IRC Log (September 12, 2010)

• M-xDaeken announced successful reverse engineering of the Emotiv EPOC headset, creating "Emokit" (https://github.com/daeken/Emokit) with a pygame-based renderer for brain activity visualization, decrypting the device's communication protocol which used AES in ECB mode with a 16-byte block size.

• M-xDaeken reported identifying the gyro data in the EPOC's data stream and was working on an acquisition server for OpenVibe to make the device more accessible for open research.

• Kanzure shared resources on transcranial magnetic stimulation, including an open-source TMS project (OpenrTMS) and information about the iPlant initiative for ethical development of deep brain implants and personalized neuromodulation.

• The channel discussed Local Motors (local-motors.com), a company providing IGES models of their vehicles, representing an interesting case of open manufacturing principles applied to automotive design.

• Significant discussion occurred around naming conventions for open-source CAD libraries, with participants debating various options for a Python-based CAD kernel that would be simpler and more accessible than existing solutions.
