CHALLENGES LIMITATIONS

Accuracy and calibrations of the Mindwave sensors.

Power source to accommodate data

collection for full day experiments.

Limitations to the number of sample and the consistency of the

data.Low penetration

potential for the IOS and sensors to be natively used by

subway commuters in a large scale.

Unavailability of GPS in underground, requires more user interaction during the lifelogging.

Multiple other factor that can affect brain activity

are subject to parameters beyond the scope of experiments.
