Competition
There are only two commercialized BCI Company’s on the market currently: Emotiv and Neurosky. NeuroSky, Inc. (www.neurosky.com) - Considers itself the worldwide leader in bringing biosensor technology to the consumer mass market. This competitor to the Epoc headset is a very basic and rudimentary headset, which we have not found to be reliable for serious gamers or up to par to even consider for medical applications. The technology is very basic and although works well as a toy, we have determined that it is not feasible to use for the applications that we have developed and are developing. It is the technology behind Mattel’s Mindflex and Uncle Milton’s Star Wars Force Trainer.
Mindflex by Mattel (www.mindflexgames.com) – Toy based technology which is sold in toy stores such as Toys ‘r’ Us. Due to the simplicity of their technology, they are more after the toy market as they cannot achieve the complexity required by gamers and the medical application market.
Uncle Milton’s Star Wars Force Trainer (www.unclemilton.com/starwars) - A very rudimentary toy that shows the possibility of thought control but remains a simple technology sold to the toy market
