EEG-Driven Coding Control
The hat reads your brainwave patterns in real time and maps them to coding actions. No clicks, no keystrokes — your focus IS the input.
EEG VIBE CODING CONTROL
MADCAP reads your EEG signals through a solar-powered beanie and translates your focus into steering control for vibe coding. Wear it. Think it. Ship it.

Features
The hat reads your brainwave patterns in real time and maps them to coding actions. No clicks, no keystrokes — your focus IS the input.
A flexible photovoltaic layer woven into the beanie keeps MADCAP charged from ambient light. Sit under a window and never think about battery life again.
A thin tin lining blocks external electromagnetic interference from reaching your scalp. Cleaner signal in, cleaner code out.
How it works
MADCAP does not replace your coding environment. It adds a new steering layer above it: signal capture, on-device processing, and control outputs for vibe coding workflows.
Step 1
Dry EEG electrodes embedded in the hat's lining make contact with your scalp and capture electrical activity.
Step 2
That signal is processed on-device and mapped to coding control outputs in real time.
Step 3
MADCAP outputs steering control signals that map to vibe coding workflows as IDE and environment integrations expand.
About MADCAP
MADCAP started with a simple frustration: the keyboard is a 150-year-old bottleneck sitting between your ideas and your code. We built a beanie hat with embedded EEG sensors, a flexible solar layer, and a tin lining that shields your brain from external EMF noise. The hat reads your cognitive state and translates it into steering control for vibe coding — so the fastest path from thought to working software is literally just thinking. We are building the interface layer that comes after the mouse.
Ambient light charges the flexible solar layer while the lining keeps signal capture close to your scalp.
The output is steering control, not a replacement editor. Your tools stay visible while MADCAP adds a new input layer.
Build context
Coding surface
The control surface starts where vibe coding already happens: the editor, the terminal, and the intent behind the next change.
Signal layer
Dry EEG capture and on-device processing need hardware that feels practical enough to evaluate, not performative.
Prototype detail
The strange part is the interface. The sober part is the stack: sensors, shielding, power, and control outputs.
FAQ
Dry EEG electrodes embedded in the hat's lining make contact with your scalp and capture electrical activity. That signal is processed on-device and mapped to coding control outputs in real time.
It acts as a Faraday shield, attenuating external electromagnetic fields before they reach your scalp. This reduces signal noise so the EEG data MADCAP captures is yours, not the room's.
The flexible solar layer charges from any ambient light, including indoor lighting. Direct sunlight charges faster, but a bright office keeps the hat running through a full work session.
MADCAP outputs steering control signals that map to vibe coding workflows. Specific IDE and environment integrations are expanding as we move through early access.
