Your Ideas Are Horseshit, Tom

There are two types of consumer brainwave headbands on the market now- what I’m calling readers and writers. Reader: Muse 2: The Brain Sensing Headband - Guided Meditation Multi Sensor Headset Tracker - Feedback Device Monitors Brain Wave, Heart, Breath & Body Activity Writer: Neurorythm brain stimulating headband  Both technologies are in their infancy and probably totally harmless / mostly useless except as curiosities at this point. It’s probably only a matter of time though before at least some people get invasive neural implants . INIs would let you control a computer like it was a muscle - so it follows with good software you could make music like opening or closing your hand.   This is only a matter of time.  Anyway, my thought is that a biofeedback automatic music composer might sound something like this:   A Horseshit Idea Basement Tape   Also... here is this thing I'm working on: Wooden box loop pedal Coding 50% done Wiri...

I’ve got a thing I’m working on now I’m excited about I’m building a loop (music) pedal in a language called pure data to be eventually installed in a rasberry pi and made into a real boy I’m using the array Kurswell invention system Which is based on two premises: 1) there are no original or unique ideas, just simple ideas that haven’t occurred to everybody yet because the tech is not there and 2) you can easily predict approximately how fields will advance and at one point they will converge with other fields to produce new fields So all you have to do to invent something is take low hanging fruit from inevitable field convergences and then ... wait My invention takes samples of music you are either listening to or playing along with a sample of your brain wave patterns at the time and trends in your brain waves — and uses a combo of brain wave feedback, ie magnetic stimulation, as well as playing back bits of music using things the system has learned about music structure that you l...
