Tiivistelmä
The thesis was conducted to find out whether the neuro headset device called Emotv Epoc can be used as an equipment to aid in teaching the medical engineering students in Metropolia university of applied sciences. The other important part of the thesis was to find out about the human brain, and its activities and the human brain waves, by the help of EEG measurement taken by using the Emotiv Epoc neuro headset device and its computer software
A number of EEG measurement were taken using the device and the computer software of the device. By analyzing the EEG, it was able to find out the different types of brain waves and also figure out what part of the brain was more active and which part of brain was passive at that time period of measurement.
After detailed analysis of EEG, FFT and power spectrum of the brain waves, it was found that the Emotiv Epoc device can also be used for research and educational purposes. At present time it is being used mainly for gaming purpose, after the thesis project, I was able to find out that the neuro headset device can also be used for teaching medical engineering students in Metropolia university of applied sciences.
