Connecting the Headset
Getting Started
-
Choosing the correct headset
-
Before you begin to control your mouse with your headset be aware that there are certain requirements.
-
The headset must be an open-source product, in order to work with the software. A headset from Emotiv would not work due to the pay wall constraints.
-
The recommended headsets to use are found on the openBCI (https://shop.openbci.com/collections/frontpage) website in which this project was tested using such devices.
