Thanks to funding from the Perkins grant, SPC&#8217;s Innovation Lab at the Seminole Campus now has an EEG headset that is available for use.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image is-style-default\">\n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/technology-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/chad.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/technology-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/chad.png\" alt=\"Chad Mairn sits, wearing an E.E.G. headset\" class=\"wp-image-4550\" width=\"302\" height=\"269\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In 2018, Chad Mairn, Librarian and Manager of the <a href=\"https:\/\/spcollege.libguides.com\/ilab\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Innovation Lab<\/a> at SPC, visited the University of South Florida\u2019s Computer Science and Engineering department to learn more about their Neuro-Machine Interaction Lab, which studies mediums of new human interaction with physiological sensors, specifically sensors that acquire brain data. When Mairn visited the lab, he was impressed when he saw professors and students racing drones without any physical controllers \u2013 they were using their brainwaves to fly these drones! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 20 minutes of wearing an electroencephalogram (EEG) headset, the electrical activity of Mairn\u2019s brain was recorded and then sent to a drone\u2019s flight computer. Before he knew it, he was also flying a drone with his brainwaves!&nbsp;Even though his brain-computer interface (BCI) training was not complete during that short visit, it gave Chad the desire to continue to work with EEG technology with SPC students and faculty ever since.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Having basic exposure to EEG technology while learning to configure and troubleshoot the MyndHub\/MyndBand equipment will benefit Applied Engineering Technology, Biomedical Engineering Technology, and our Medical Equipment Repair programs. EEG devices are used widely in various medical fields, since they measure brain activity in a non-invasive way, so having a good understanding of how the technology works will be advantageous for potential job opportunities that are built around these programs. Going further, select Psychology students could help analyze raw brainwave data while the Engineering and repair program students can work alongside them to potentially help brainstorm, design, engineer, and prototype new medical devices\/applications using a variety of brainwave output.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What other possibilities await with this innovative technology? The only way to find out is to visit Chad Mairn at the Innovation Lab!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>St. Petersburg College&#8217;s Innovation Lab at the Seminole Campus now has an EEG headset that is available for use. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1951,"featured_media":4556,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,131],"tags":[],"coauthors":[152],"class_list":["post-4549","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-ccit","category-featured"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\r\n<title>EEG Technology Now at Innovation Lab - Technology<\/title>\r\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"St. Petersburg College&#039;s Innovation Lab at the Seminole Campus now has an EEG headset that is available for use.\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\r\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/technology-educational-information\/eeg-technology-now-at-innovation-lab\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"EEG Technology Now at Innovation Lab - Technology\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"St. Petersburg College&#039;s Innovation Lab at the Seminole Campus now has an EEG headset that is available for use.\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/technology-educational-information\/eeg-technology-now-at-innovation-lab\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Technology\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/stpetecollege\/\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-08-04T13:45:04+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2024-01-30T21:07:51+00:00\" \/>\r\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/blog.spcollege.edu\/technology-educational-information\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/08\/pexels-pixabay-373543-scaled.jpeg\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2560\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1706\" \/>\r\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\r\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Stephanie R.
