HUMM: Brain Computer Interface Project

Ever wished you could upgrade your brain like you update an app on your phone? HUMM is building a hardware/software platform for anyone who depends on their brain for success. The first users are “cognitive athletes” in the professional esports gaming space, harnessing cutting edge neuroscience to unlock improved mental processing speeds and accelerating training. To achieve this, we are building a model for cognitive performance enhancement for competitive esports players. The data set is a combination of live game-play statistics derived from the API of League of Legends (the world’s largest esports game) and biometric data from a combination of sensors including heart rate (and derivatives such as heart rate variability), eye tracking, EEG (brainwaves) and facial expression analysis.

If you’re interested in learning data science while also helping build the future of brain-computer interface, and perhaps playing a few games along the way, then this is the project for you! We can be contacted at thinkbetter@humm.tech, or check out our esports site at www.humm.gg if you just want to stay in touch with developments.
