Abstract: A method of controlling a video clip player is described. The method comprises sending a control signal from a controller to the video clip player to output a pre-recorded video clip to a display; using a sensor to sense EEG signals from the brain of an observer of the displayed video clip; transmitting the sensed EEG signals from the sensor to the controller; processing the received EEG signals to determine an outcome, the outcome being achieved by the received signal comprising a predetermined frequency or a predetermined combinations of frequencies of EEG signals above a threshold level for a predetermined period of time; and controlling the video clip player in response to the determined outcome. The controlling step comprises selecting a next pre-recorded video clip to be output by the video clip player from a plurality of stored pre-recorded video clips; and instructing the video clip player to output the selected pre-recorded video clip to the display for presentation to the observer.

Abstract: A method, system and process using brainwave electro-encephalographic data from any sensor to direct or influence the outcome of any media file including but not limited to video, video advertisement or movie file sequences via a media player. It uses algorithm data based upon the brainwave readings and conveys them to a media player which refers to a text based computer-scripting language file to direct the outcome or sequence of scenes in a media file playable through various platforms, including but not limited to personal computers, television, Digital Video Disc, cinema screens, handheld devices and video consoles. The computer-scripting file uses pre-defined alternative outcomes in accordance with the user's state of mind as measured by the EEG device and directs the player to play the appropriate scene or time code within a video, video advertisement or movie file, thus enabling a user to influence the progress/outcome of a file.
