• Aimilios Hatzistamou recently got a smart sleep mask from Kickstarter. • What was not expected was the ability to read strangers’ brainwaves and send them electric impulses in their sleep. • The mask was from a small Chinese research company, very cool hardware - EEG brain monitoring, electrical muscle stimulation around the eyes, vibration, heating, audio. • I asked Claude to try reverse-engineer the Bluetooth protocol and build me a simple web control panel instead. • Unfortunately, the device said nothing back, the protocol was not a standard one. • So Claude went after the app instead.
