Greetings from Portugal.

This is my first post, so i'll introduce me. I am a
master's degree student in multimedia technology and
i'm currently starting to work to my thesys. I will
build a system that can react to a heart rate and a
brainwave sensor. The system woud interpret those
signals and create music and images/video according to
that. I think that PD would be the ideal programming
software for that. The main problem, and where i'm
searching for help, is this:

- do you guys knows about some sensors that i can use
to measure the heart rate and brainwave? I've made a
quick search over the net but i couldn't find
anything.

- how do i connect those sensors with PD? I suppose
they will be connected to the computer via USB (my
laptop only has USB ports) bu ban PD read values from
an USB port?

- I would be everything much easier if i could connect
those sensors to a I-CubeX system, so i would only
deal with MIDI data. Do you know any heart rate and
branwave sensor that can be plugged to an I-CubeX
system?

The ideal scenario would be to have those two sensors
to transmit MIDI data to a MIDI interface, but i don't
know if this is possible.

Thanks in advance.
