Neurotunes- creating the perfect playlist tailored to your brainwaves

My project aim is to track brainwaves to monitor how they respond to different genres of music in order to create an app that compiles the data into exclusive playlists based off personal responses.

This could be used to help people with mental disorders, create personalised therapies, and help people who are unable to express themselves, such as individuals in a coma. My goal is to use this project to aid people regulate emotions and create a meaningful impact in their lives. I seek feedback on the feasibility of this project and any adaptions which can be made.

What do you think?

Wow, such a great idea TashviM. So many applications here, and so many ways you can take this. What hard ware do you have access to, to do the scans?

Depending on the costs of the scanner, I think this would be very feasible.

Looking forward to seeing your idea come to life.

Thank you. I was thinking of contacting some institutions to use their Electroencephalogram (EEG) as they can be quite expensive. I have also come across an issue; everyone’s brainwaves are unique like their fingerprints which means the project would have to be a bit more generalised to be adjusted than previously expected. What changes do you think could be made?

I am also looking into Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (FNIR) as that could be a potential substitute for an EEG, but might not provide me with adequate results.

I would greatly appreciate any recommendations and feedback.

Neurotunes is a really exciting and caring project idea. You are clearly focused on how technology can support wellbeing, emotion, and connection, which gives the work real purpose.

Your concept connects strongly to the documentary Alive Inside, which shows the powerful effect music can have on people with dementia, check out the effect on Henry :-)

Thank you Peter. The video shows a powerful representation of what music can do for people. Thanks for sharing it and I appreciate the support!

I have finally found a substitute for an EEG, it is this device called Muse 2 which would allow me to obtain a lot more data and have frequent access to my brainwaves. This means I will soon be able to start my testing which is very exciting :)

Stair Energy Generator (SEG)

Over 45 countries experience ten or more power outages per year, with Bangladesh experiencing 248 a year, and over 70% of consumed energy per year is either Coal, Oil, or natural gas. The world needs cleaner energy, which can be easily built/installed in any country. This has led me to design a product that can capture wasted energy through the action of traversing a set of stairs and store it for later use.To assist in the development of this project, advice/support in energy generation (piezoelectric, electromagnetic generator, electric motor, Triboelectric Nanogenerators), Material research, electronics (energy storage), and Mechanical Engineering.

Water Dissolvable PLU Apple Stickers

Tens of billions of PLU fruit stickers are discarded each year, contributing to non-biodegradable waste and increasing landfill pressure in NSW. Currently, 100% of fruit sold in major supermarkets uses plastic-coated, non-compostable stickers.This project is proposing a Sustainable, water-dissolvable PLU sticker based on existing Pink Lady apple branding. The sticker will need to maintain strong adhesion, withstand moisture and transport conditions, and function effectively at checkout.This solution aims to reduce everyday plastic waste at its source while maintaining supermarket practicality.I am seeking support in processes and materials that will allow for functionality of this product.

Supporting the recovery and pain relief of acute musculoskeletal-based shoulder injuries

To design and create a product which will promote a more efficient and pain-free recovery process for acute musculoskeletal-based shoulder injuries primarily, but may also be used to treat bone-based injuries. Furthermore, this project will aspire to aid the recovery of these injuries by supporting the muscles at a sustained and efficient rate for optimal recovery. Additionally, it will make use of best practice temperature-based recovery techniques, providing both heat and icing options. Furthermore, the brace's design will combat equity-based issues, allowing all demographics to access this product, such as low SES, youth, adults, beginner or cognitive athletes and more.
