- Cast21
- Masque

Circuit Examples¶
Q's to fio - if your body is more conductive, are you more likely to heal faster/better after an injury?
-
if body conductivity is mainly through ions like potassium, chlorine and sodium, are individuals with hashimotos, pots, graves, etc less conductive than the average person because they lack these ions?
-
what about blood circulation? if you don't circulate well do you not conduct well?
-
low conductivity, am i dead?
Tools¶
- Arduino IDE
- Advancer Muscle Sensor V3
- Clips
- Solder
- Wire
- 9v batteries
- multimeter
Process and workflow¶
Brainstorm Ideas¶
My ideas are ...
Noise Cancelling Earring¶
Instead of headphones, a cute earring that will drown out all surrounding sounds to help focus your attention to one area/person speaking/sound zone where the sensor would be placed. Like how teachers will wear a microphone that allow and individual with hearring aids, lock into their sound projection. I thought this would be doable either through ear pressure points; adding pressure to like numb the neurons that pick up backgroud feedback or by omitting a freqency that just drowns it out.
There's a hz freq that you can listen to that makes you be able to not hear men's voices. Wanted to add that to the earring, would be epic and a hot selling product fr.
Detox Socks¶
Socks that reads your sweat. I personally detox through my feet so it would be the best place for me to monitor/calculate my bodys sweat output. Through a reading like this I would be able to know exactly how my body is reacting to daily inputs like food, sounds and other energies. Like Emm Menstrual Cup or Anna Cain's Skin Electronics for Menstruation Biohacking, but instead of inside of you collecting blood, on the outside collecting sweat.
Brain Wave Hair Clip¶
Monitor brain waves or emotions like the Oura Ring ring does.
Chakra Necklace¶
Nervous System reading necklace that lights up depending on the frequency you are vibrating at, it will light up to that chakra colour.
No Cap Grillz¶
Grillz that omits frequencies to promote healing. Like Dr. Tarek helped Edmonton Oiler's players regrow their knocked out teeth. Rather than regrowing teeth, but maintaining their health or reversing cavities or to strengthen enamel.
OR Grillz that would change colour based on ph levels/saliva output. Could wearing it be able to detect cavities, weak enamel or softening gums?
Light Reflecting Conducitve Makeup¶
Like American footbal players wear Eye Black, a grease or strip applied under the eyes to reduce glare got me thinking about a cute option for daily wear, creating an Electronic Tattoo. Ditch the sunglasses and slap on some glitter babe. There was no conductive paint or graphite powder in the lab to make this option.
RFID Nails¶
To give out my business card, add RFID to nails. The RFID would not catch to the phone so was not an option.
- skin sensor
Build Circuit¶
Soldered wires to the device.
Hook up EMG¶
Connect wires from device to clips and clip to Flora Board. Apply electrodes to positions indicated on the arm.
Code on Arduino¶
const int signalPin = 9; int SensorValue = 0 ;
``` void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); }
void loop() { SensorValue = analogRead(signalPin); Serial.println(SensorValue); delay(25); } ```
Results¶
- fried board that didn't take a reading
- rfid did not work
- no conductive paint in the class
- no EEGs
