Emotiv EmoComposer Read Smile Example

[Beutlich]

Overview

This example uses the Emotiv Brain Computer Interface API to read the smile state of the user.

Description

In order to use this, be sure to download the API from here: https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-18059.  This example makes use of the emotic headset.  The emotiv headset is a wireless EEG system that measures brainwaves. It allows programmers to use brain activity in their applications. The basic API allows you to access Facial gestures, Emotivional states, Headset data like the gyro, and trained Cognitive actions.

This VI works by creating a Emotiv task and reading the smile state from an Emotiv Read.
