Developer Uses EEG To Levitate Ping-Pong Ball
On April 6, 2026, developer Thomas Vikström used a Muse EEG headband, Edge Impulse signal processing, and a Particle Photon 2 to levitate a ping-pong ball by classifying three mental states (calm, sleep, non-calm) and mapping them to blower motor power. The visible setup provides real-time neurofeedback and Vikström documents the project in a public GitHub repository for builders.
Scoring Rationale
This is a timely, actionable maker project (today's post) that converts EEG classification into tangible neurofeedback, scoring well on actionability and relevance. Score reduced for niche scope and single-source credibility; slight positive adjustment for being current and having a public GitHub repo.
