the least a high or low pass filter could trigger an on/off event. This can beachieved by combining the band pass filter with an AC-DC converter and a comparator thatdrives the signal to a low or high voltage for TTL control.Results The output signal from the encoder can easily be connected directly to a speaker to listento pitches created by the frequencies generated in correlation with mental activity. These pitchescan be mapped onto the music scale to show the range of notes possible. It is difficult to haveenough mental control to lock on to any single pitch in tune, but a sliding scale of sound can begenerated. Since the game’s adjustment dial changes the frequency range, two ranges of musicalnotes were measured at the extreme

However, these microscopically small particle-sized sensornodes have the potential to be used in a number of military applications.5.
