Detection of Implicit Racial Bias using EEG Data
These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes.
Clone or download the repository to your local machine.
Then run conda create --name the-mirror python=3.8 to create a conda environment called "the-mirror" with the correct python version. The run conda activate the-mirror. Since the requirements.txt is pip-syntaxed, run pip install -r requirements.txt after.
Local app only records EEG data using OpenBCI hardware. For the test we used Psytoolkit Online IAT Racism online cognitive-psychological experiment. Psytoolkit can also be used offline by just opening iat_race.html file in any modern browser.
IMPORTANT: at the end of the experiment closing the running python code is important to save the final data from OpenBCI board. Pressing "q" will quit the program and save the data as well in the same directory. Closing the code in terminal will also save the data into the file
