Forum: OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA)

ive had the NIA for 3 days now. i got it for Christmas since it seems like a pretty cool product. AND IT IS!! Im a casual gamer and i play WoW. my goal with NIA would be to sort out my mess during PVP(player vs player). I play hunter and tend to mess up in melee battle. the best ting to do when...

Will there be new NIA coming to stores before Christmas or is it coming later? I still have faith that there will be updated NIA ;)

Here is the battleplan: we are trying to come out with a streamlined "learning / practice module" and after trying out a bunch of things, I would like to have something like the practice session at the beginning of MDK2 (if anybody remembers that game). I used that one to let a number of people...

Hi, I am working on a project to use the NIA as a input to an visual studio 2008 application. The application will ether be written in C# or C++. So my questions are : - Are the drivers open source or is the source code available ? - Is there any code using the NIA available ?

Hi! I just got my NIA yesterday, and now I find myself enjoying a game of pong for the first time in ages :thumb: Now I'm wondering if it's possible to use the NIA as a input device for my own games programming. In short: Does it exist an SDK for the NIA system, including a DLL that I can...

Hello, how responsive is the NIA to mental commands? I only need 1 command, but it has to have a low latency, spike high enough to be detectable and then disappear just as fast. Basically i need it to work like a button. Using blinks as an input could be a subsitute. Does the NIA detect blinks...

Hello, everybody; I'm from Poland and i'm trying to buy OCZ NIA. Unfortunately, there is no shop in Poland that have NIA on stock. Amazon.com says, "currently, item can be shipped only within the U.S.". Could anybody tell me where can I buy this thing? At best in Poland, because of shipping cost...

Hello, What's the best method (so not to damage the device/sensors) to clean/disinfect the OCZ NIA between uses? Mark

Hi! I'm doing research on Affect Detection using BCIs, particularly on user emotion. To be able to do that based on the literature I've gathered so far, I just need to know: Is it possible to find out what part of the brain the signals (specifically the EEG signals) originate from using the...

The Black Box asked for it and I felt obliged to answer his request: http://www.lostcircuits.com/mambo//index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=83&Itemid=1

After 2 weeks of bug fixes, we have just posted last night the latest version of the new software - which is a preliminary release candidate and removed the time-out. We are still calling it beta but it should be very close to final. The download is still at the same location: ...

OK, so I have my first real application for the NIA written. For all the Twitter Junkies out there I have written TweetDreams, an app that can detect when you are dreaming, via detection of REM sleep. When the software detects you are dreaming, it can post customizable Tweets to you Twitter...

Ok I think I have a weird problem with my NIA. When I hold the controller box the biometric range is in the relaxation range, however when I put in on a desk, my lap, sitting on my computer, sitting on the table besides me (I have tried pretty much everywhere that I can think of) the reading...

As announced in earlier posts in this forum, a friend and me have started a Wiki to collect and organize information around the NIA. We welcome everybody to participate. Even small things like adding an appropriate link to a certain topic can help a lot. Feel free to comment here about...

A future nia (not the next iteration thou) will surely have accelerometers. Impatient folks might like to join me in the quest to find a simple and convenient way to mod our current nias by adding separate sensory equipment. I am now looking for small 3D-accelerometer USB-solutions and came...

Hi, I'm very junior to owning a NIA *this marks day two of use* and I'm wondering *perhaps impatiently* about bindings and how this all works in a practical sense. I can play pong *not winning matches, still working on that!* and I see how the different "zones" are changed, *kinda, I don't really...

Folks, we finally made it, Andrew and I have been burning more midnight kerosene than you can possibly appreciate but we have something that is looking and feeling really good: Please bear in mind that this is sill beta for obvious reasons, there are additional layers of complexity that you guys...

Im not usually one to pester about new equipment and such, but my NIA is starting to play up a bit. On the box itself, the plug that goes to the computer (usb one) is starting to get loose, and if i move the box a little too much i get the usb disconnect and reconnect windows sound. The plug...

Hi Guys, Ive been trying to get some form of EEG readings out of the NIA and out put them all to a file. I wanted to record alpha, beta, theta and delta waves and interperet them as according to this paper page 125. As far as i understand, so far there is nothing that will out put in explicity...
