SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/22/14 -- Embarcadero Technologies, a leading provider of software solutions for application and database development, is featuring the Emotiv EPOC brain-to-computer interface in this week's "Developing the Internet of Things (IoT) Showcase." The EPOC is a neuroheadset designed for practical, contextualized research applications, providing access to high quality, raw electroencephalography (EEG) data.

The Emotiv EPOC is a connected, wearable device for the IoT marketplace that records electrical signals along the scalp, and transmits that data wirelessly to PCs, tablets and smartphones. Using the Appmethod software development platform, developers can create applications for the EPOC, opening up opportunities to the new world of connected apps and gadgets that can be controlled by thought, head rotation (gesture input), emotions, and facial expressions.

Wearable devices are at the forefront of the expanding IoT landscape, with innovative new products such as the Emotiv EPOC, Apple Watch, FitBit, Samsung Gear and the Motorola Moto360 emerging each week. All of these wearables interface with a user's mobile or desktop device through connected apps. Using a single app development platform and shared C++ codebase, Appmethod provides the tools developers need to build natively compiled apps for multiple form factors, and easily extend those applications to mobile devices or desktop platforms, including Android, iOS, Windows and OS X, via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi app tethering.

The Emotiv EPOC provides the brain-to-computer interface using a proprietary wireless, 2.4GHz band. Using electrodes that read raw EEG data, the EPOC picks up brainwaves through its various sensors and reference receivers, and converts that data into a signal that can be read by a computer. For head tracking it also includes a head mounted gyroscope. The sensor input comes in 4 different categories: head rotation, facial expressions, emotions and direct thought control. Applications for the Emotiv EPOC may include:

• The gyroscope functionality can be used by persons with disabilities to control a computer mouse, wheelchair control or home automation system
• The Neuroheadset can be used for mental typing applications and innovative gameplay mechanics driven by thought
