It sounds like science fiction: controlling electronic devices with brain waves. But researchers have developed a new type of electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode that can do just that, with... Read more
Carnegie Mellon University engineers and cognitive neuroscientists have demonstrated that a new high-density EEG can capture the brain’s neural activity at a higher spatial resolution than e... Read more
A researcher at Missouri University of Science and Technology wants to scrap the traditional electronic and paper survey approach to gathering marketing and information systems data in favor... Read more
Innovation is all about putting on the proverbial thinking cap. Now engineers are vying to produce an actual thinking cap – at least one that can measure the most rudimentary signals of thou... Read more
Latest advances in capturing data on brain activity and eye movement are being combined to open up a host of ‘mind reading’ possibilities for the future. These include the potential developm... Read more
You may have had remote controlled airplanes growing up, but they probably weren’t as cool as the quadcopter. This tiny helicopter looks a lot like a toy, but it’s really a high-... Read more
Mayo Clinic physicians in Arizona have shown that tablet computers can be used to analyze electroencephalogram or EEG results outside of the clinic or hospital. Their study findings were rec... Read more
Every year thousands of people in Europe are paralysed by a spinal cord injury. Many are young adults, facing the rest of their lives confined to a wheelchair. Although no medical cure curre... Read more
DARPA links human brainwaves, improved sensors, cognitive algorithms to improve target detection For warfighters operating in the field, the ability to detect threats from standoff d... Read more
EEG does not directly read thoughts. Electroencephalography used to require a person to sit still while a computer tracked the brain’s electrical impulses. A newer technology un... Read more
With human error the predominant cause of car accidents, automatic braking systems like the Pedestrian Detection system found in the Volvo S60 use cameras and sensors to assist drivers in de... Read more
Until recently a purely lab based technology, brainwave (electroencephalograph or EEG) headsets are trickling into the marketplace in a number of different guises. But what exactly do these... Read more
Brain-Computer Interfacing (BCI) is a hot area of research. In the past year alone we’ve looked at a system to allow people to control a robotic arm and another that enables users to control... Read more
