       | You can use OpenBCI [1][2][3] to encode information into your
       | memory efficiently. There is a package on GitHub that you can use
       | with OpenBCI to encode things into your memory in your sleep
       | utilizing audio Anki flashcards [4]. There is also a package that
       | allows you to do this while awake [5].

         | Please note that the newsworthy part was on the Nature article
         | on the relationship between neural engagement and learning:

           | Great point: there is a big difference between encoding
           | things to memory versus actually learning new things
           | (concepts).

           | I appreciate your correction. :-)

           | OpenBCI is completely open source.
           | 
           | Emotiv is a lot more difficult to deal with when it comes to
           | interfacing [1]. The reference I provide is sort of old but
           | it is definitely applicable to Emotiv products in general.
