All executive and motor functions of the human body, whether voluntary or involuntary, has one common root. Mankind has always been fascinated by the intricacy of the human brain but has never been able to unlock its secrets. After all, tracing through a network of 100 billion neurons is an overwhelming task by any-ones standards. Over the years as new technologies emerge, doors have been opened in the path to better understanding the brain and its functional structure. Thus far solely been reserved for the medical field, recent advancements in safety and accessibility has made possible such technologies to be utilized in other applications. Electroencephalography (EEG) is one such technology, which is used to record electric potentials generated by neurons in the brain through external placement of electrodes on the scalp. Since electrode placement is peripheral and it solely functions as a medium of gathering data without interfering with any of the brains functionalities, EEG can be utilized without the supervision of a medical professional. This allows it to be implemented in a wide variety of applications without any concerns o
