“Cerebro-like” = a consent-based human sensor network + dashboard

 

Sensor Candidates (with links)

  • Neuro/biometric

    • OpenBCI (EEG/biometric platform for research and prototyping).

    • Muse S (consumer EEG; the latest Athena line combines EEG + fNIRS).

    • EMOTIV EPOC X / FLEX (14–32-channel wireless EEG).

  • Position & movement

    • Quuppa RTLS (BLE-based indoor positioning with tags).

    • Qorvo (formerly Decawave) UWB module DWM1001 (eval board for high-precision indoor positioning).

  • Field detection (thermal/search)

    • DJI Mavic 3T / Enterprise (thermal payload; SAR and nighttime ops).

    • NASA/DHS “FINDER” (radar that detected breathing/heartbeats under rubble; tech demonstration).

Practical Use Cases (System Designs)

  1. Large-scale event operations
    With participant consent, provide light EEG/heart-rate wearables plus smartphones. Deploy Quuppa or UWB anchors for indoor positioning. A dashboard visualizes “congestion × stress hotspots,” enabling immediate rerouting and rest prompts.

  2. Disaster-site search & rescue
    Rescue teams share vitals (HR, temp) via wearables. Use Mavic 3T thermal and audio cues to scan for survivors. In heavy rubble zones, reference FINDER-style radar as part of a multi-sensor approach.

  3. Factory/construction safety
    Workers optionally use EMOTIV / Muse / OpenBCI to surface early signs of fatigue or attention drop (self-view first, opt-in sharing). Define geofences with BLE/UWB tags so entering hazardous zones triggers alerts.

MVP (Minimum Viable Prototype)

  • On-person: Muse S (comfort-first) or EMOTIV Insight/EPOC X (more channels) + a consumer heart-rate chest strap.

  • On-site: A few Quuppa locators or 4–6 DWM1001 (UWB) anchors for room-level indoor positioning.

  • Overhead/outdoors (optional): Mavic 3T for thermal scans and night monitoring.

  • Software: In the cloud, fuse time-series biometrics with spatial location to produce a hotspot map and an individual consent view.

Key point: Establish consent, anonymization, and purpose limitation up front, and strictly control “who can see what” in the dashboard.
