For my earlier article titled “P300 and Emotiv EPOC: Does Emotiv EPOC capture real EEG?” I received an enormous response from various interested parties. Since I’m continuously using the Emotiv EPOC for my research work with good confidence, I thought of extending the discussion about the good side of it with some convincing results. About two years ago, when I first encounted Emotiv, I discussed about it with some neuroscientists. However, they were very reluctant to believe that such a device can capture real EEG, and they tended to disregard it merely considering it as a toy. However, about two years later, now, I can see a lot of research papers appears in the web that have used the Emotiv EPOC. As a researcher, a person should look into things critically, but with an open mindset. Therefore, I hope this small article will help for some of you to rethink about the Emotiv and its capabilities.
