Control a real goldfish

The fish can be controlled by the user. This experiment was started in 1998 in the Knowledge Media Design Institute and Department of Computer Science. This allows you as the user to control the direction in which the fish swims. The fish is now almost for three months online. You can give it a try, using the keys.

In short, the signal-inplationer sends waveform data (converted mididata) to a CEC-7. The electric signals control the brainwaves of the fish.
The objective of the fish-project is to use EEG signals as an alternative means of control with computers. We have recognised two states from on-line EEG signals by means of neural networks, which are associated to simple commands. For instance, to select an direction from a computer it suffices 2 states; the chosen direction will send a signal (left or right).
Note: the signals cause the fish no pain or other harmful consequences. The system works totally callous for the fish
