“The orchestra uses technology from the laboratory for Synthetic Perceptive, Emotive and Cognitive Systems (SPECS) to allow members to play musical instruments through Brain Computer Interface technology alone.”

“IMEC’s design and modeling strategy allows for the development of advanced brain implants comprising multiple electrodes capable of simultaneous stimulation and recording, similar to the way neurons function in healthy brain activity, the researcher said. By following this approach, prototype probes with 10-µm electrodes were produced with various topologies, IMEC said.”

“The European Commission has announced a large initiative to fund high-risk information and communication technology (ICT) research.”

“But the most interesting consequence of the coming flood of brainware isn’t technological at all. Parents, and anyone else whose schooldays are fading into memory, will be acutely aware that today’s youngsters have a facility with interactive technology that can be acutely disorienting.”

“Early on the afternoon of April 1, Adam Wilson posted a message to Twitter. But instead of using his hands to type, the University of Wisconsin biomedical engineer used his brain. “USING EEG TO SEND TWEET,” he thought.”

“The scientists at Emotiv have done the impossible: created a brain-wave-reading headset that lets you conjure entire worlds using nothing but your mind — a breakthrough that could be worth billions. Now comes the hard part.”

“Neurolutions is a newly formed company located in St. Louis, MO. Wadsworth says that the company will develop and commercialize medical devices that “directly harness the brain’s electrical signals for communication and control systems for people with severe motor disabilities.” The potential applications include controlling prosthetic limbs and operating wheelchairs or computers.”

“An elaborate electronic helmet that allows the wearer to control a robot by thought alone has been unveiled by researchers in Japan. Scientists at the Honda Research Institute demonstrated the invention today by using it to move the arms and legs of an Asimo humanoid robot. To control the robot, the person wearing the helmet only had to think about making the movement. Its inventors hope that one day the mind-control technology will allow people to do things like turn air conditioning on or off and open their car boot without putting their shopping down.”

“The Force, it seems, is not so strong with this one. In the virtual world of a game called Neuroboy, I’m staring out over a lagoon at an exact digital replica of a Star Wars X-wing spaceship submerged in blue water. My task: to lift that virtual object out of its murky depths using not my mouse or keyboard, but instead–à la Luke Skywalker–my thoughts.”
