NeuroBloom: Neuro-Hybrid Cognitive Engine

A high-performance, distributed biometric monitoring system architected in C++ and Python.

Overview

NeuroBloom is a real-time system designed to monitor cognitive states (Focus, Stress, Cognitive Load) by fusing simulated EEG data with computer vision metrics. It demonstrates a Low-Latency Distributed Architecture using:

• C++ Core (Producer): Physics-based signal generation (1/f noise) and OpenCV Gaze Tracking.
• ZeroMQ (Transport): Sub-millisecond IPC replacing standard HTTP REST.
• OpenSSL (Security): Native AES-256-CBC encryption of biometric payloads.
• Python (Consumer): Sensor fusion and WebSocket broadcasting.
