![]() Moreover, getting these kids to come into the lab from all over was no simple task. ![]() Only 5-10% of the population has some form of dyslexia and they are spread out and hard to find. It would all have been just peachy except that Nic and his team were faced with some significant challenges when it came to recruiting subjects for their work. It records a high quality signal – it’s the gold standard. The Neuroscan system is tens of thousands of dollars but with good contact quality and a 1kHz sampling rate. As any researcher with a substantial grant would do, his team purchased the upscale Neuroscan EEG system for their work. He now studies auditory processing in children with dyslexia. Nic did his PhD in developmental psychology and then studied language processing at Oxford before returning to Australia. Nicholas Badcock and his group at Macquarie University in Sydney Australia were among the first to see its potential in other applications. ![]() When Emotiv came out with its EEG EPOC headset it was originally positioned as a gaming system – allowing simple brain computer interface applications for video games. The Emotiv EPOC at less than $2000 opens up enormous possibilities to take research out of the lab to get access to subjects and scale experiments substantially.
