First dream captured with modified NeuroSky MindWave. Anyone familiar with the MindWave knows its design makes sleeping with it on nearly impossible. I took mine apart and remounted the boards, contacts and battery (crudely) in a elastic headband. Now it is possible to sleep with it on.
Download entry as Lucid Scribe Data (LSD) or Comma Separated Values (CSV).
UPDATE:
Thought I’d do the process in bullet form. To be used in conjunction with the attached pics. Unfortunately I didn’t take step by step pics but it is really pretty simple. If I forgot anything feel free to ask.

- Remove all the stickers from the mind wave including the large circular one that says NeuroSky MindWave. They just peel off.
- Unscrew everything
- The blue wires Going to the forehead sensor can be carefully pried out of the sides.
- Gently remove the boards and refer to pics for wiring scheme. These wires/connections are fragile!
- Buy a battery holder or cut away the original one and add wires to be able to mount it in a more comfortable position.
- Adapt or replace the forehead sensor
- Mount into headband as suits your needs.
- Sleep, Dream, Be Amazed

Thats the mod I’d like to do with my MindWave. If you have pics or tips to share it would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill
Tom sent in some pics and the entry has been updated!
Elite! Did any of the recordings make it into your dreams?
Not Yet. So far just used the MindWave to see if all works OK.
I see the penny electrode is rapidly tarnishing. But trying again soon.
One step towards vtaruil reality games, my only raison d’eatre.Just kidding.But mind controlling videogames will be pretty cool, especial for people like me who play strategy games and have low apm (actions per minute).Execution of old tactics will become easier and new ones will arise, which were formerly undoable.
Thanks for the pics and updated info! The penny electrode is nice touch – Bill
Can you talk more about the software side of all of this? Also the headband is connected to a computer via usb all night?
The software is available as freeware from lucidcode and I have already released some of the more interesting parts as open source: Lucid Scribe – ThinkGear EEG Plugin.
The NeuroSky MindWave headset is connected via Bluetooth and eats a battery each night, but other plug-ins, like the Halograph FM and LightStone IOM, need to be connected via USB.
