HTM Challenge 2015

Setup

NuPIC

Install htmresearch. We need that to be able to use the classification network factory.

git clone https://github.com/numenta/nupic.research.git
cd nupic.research
python setup.py develop --user

Check that it's been installed correctly:

$ python
>>> from htmresearch.frameworks.classification.classification_network import createNetwork
... # success!

BrainSquared

git clone https://github.com/cloudbrainlabs/htm-challenge.git
cd htm-challenge
python setup.py install --user  

If you want to be able to frequently edit the code and not have to re-install the brainsquared package after every modification, use develop instead of install.

cd htm-challenge
python setup.py develop --user  

What it does

Collect EEG data (i.e. brainwaves) and classify your mental states. One common mental state that is often classified is motor imagery, that is to say imagined motor movements (e.g moving your hand left or right). By classifying data from the motor cortex we can extract controls to interact with the physical/digital world.
