3.3 Cognitiv™ Suite
The Cognitiv Suite panel uses a virtual 3D cube to display an animated representation of the
Cognitiv detection output.
3.3.1 Cognitiv Suite Introduction
The Cognitiv detection suite evaluates a user’s real time brainwave activity to discern the user’s
conscious intent to perform distinct physical actions on a real or virtual object. The detection is
designed to work with up to 13 different actions: 6 directional movements (push, pull, left, right, up
and down) and 6 rotations (clockwise, counter-clockwise, left, right, forward and backward) plus
one additional action that exists only in the realm of the user’s imagination: disappear.
Cognitiv allows the user to choose up to 4 actions that can be recognized at any given time. The
detection reports a single action or neutral (i.e. no action) at a time, along with an action power
which represents the detection’s certainty that the user has entered the cognitive state associated
with that action.
Increasing the number of concurrent actions increases the difficulty in maintaining conscious control
over the Cognitiv detection results. Almost all new users readily gain control over a single action
quite quickly. Learning to control multiple actions typically requires practice and becomes
progressively harder as additional actions are added. Although EPOC Control Panel allows a user
to select up to 4 actions at a time, it is important that each user masters the use of the Cognitiv
detection one action at a time, only increasing the number of concurrent actions after he or she has
first gained confidence and accuracy with a lower number of actions.
