The Brain Twitter Interface

[r0zwell]

awesome.



[missgiggler5]

this is not good for a project needs sounds and makes no sense!

[NotASocialCommentary]

Yay, now even cripples and retards can use Twitter.

[reynouts]

Great! I am also using BCI to allow people to play Frets on Fire/Guitar Hero with their brains! I study Artificial Intelligence in the Netherlands. My blog is at wordpress, name: reynouts, also on twitter! Hook up if you like.

[randyharnarinesingh]

The computer, by combing temporal segments of the EEG post-intensification can distinguish the communicated letter from the non-target stimuli.

[randyharnarinesingh]

It's called a Brain Computer Interface (BCI). The Electroencephalogram acts as the medium of brain-computer communication in this instance. This EEG-BCI is based on the P300 neurophysiological protocol and exploits the Speller Matrix Paradigm for the communication of letters (brain-based typing). The P300 is evoked when the user gazes at the letter they wish to communicate. Therefore it is evoked twice for 6 row and 6 column intensifications.

Badgers ? Badgers? We dont need no stinkin badgers.

[24BIT24BIT]

thank you

[kaltenbach16]

fucking monkey, ready to go to mars!!!lol

[GeneralTrue]

whats badgers

[jotun19]

cool, this vid could mean anything, FAIL

[PeterJ94]

man that's cool i wish i could try it!

[andreibd15]

FAIL

[littlemunkeyskull]

the flashy letters are gonna put someone in an epileptic fit

[Usieo]

his brain must be real slow

[bpyjktgiuk]

Ever heard of brain chip - CHECK MY SITE.

[reikimaster6]

I agree with starrychloe. Watch the movie 'The Diving Bell & Butterfly" if you want an idea of what it is like to have Locked In Syndrome. They are unable to communicate using limbs or vocal cords. The author of the story blinked his eyes something like 600,000 times to "dictate" to a secretary who used a letter board to read off letters to the author until she reached the letter the author desired, which he indicated by blinking.

Keep up the great work--I'm sure improvements will come.

[runningmadd]

what is this i dont get it?

[evengering]

i do cocaine

[paranoiadmin]

can't wait until theres a good interface for this, so i can write faster.

[iamxxv]

Yeah taking 15 seconds to write a single "N" would save us much time.

0:55

[MechaBlazeEagle]

It's not intended to "save time". This is a work in progress for people who are fully paralyzed & have NO OTHER WAY to communicate.

Thanks for the lesson though jackass.

[jsbud333]

who farted?

[simpsons225]

It would be impressive if it was faster than that. Looks like it just uses some kind of custom brute force algorithm to detect the brain frequencies for each letter, which is not very effective. Personally, I would have been blown away if it was capable of writing at the same speed one would spend making up the input. Guess that's what the future is for though.

[LUSIANO1994]

maybe it will be better with eye sensors

[uncleardegree]

Beginning of Telepathy?

[uncleardegree]

ENTER The Matrix!

[starrychloe]

If only the Diving Bell and the Butterfly guy had this...

[AdnElric]

This is just what Stephen Hawking needs!

[tsabeat]

yak. i hope it wont catch up and evryone turns to zombies like you.

[e75nokia]

There should be a dedicated website for brain-twitter...

[valcaron]

But there's a contradiction -- one of the requirements to be a Twitter user is to not have a brain. So why is this research being done?

[jayseepingkian]

This is the start of the keyboardless future.

[Chick6517]

Wow This video explains a lot i guess. haha Pretty cool video (= I need to work on windows movie maker and see if I could do the same thing

[Puabond]

Neural interfaces and multi touch screens, WHERE MY BOTS AT!!??

[wjfox2006]

Incredible!

[Hatikvahh]

lcd screens r outdated and edgy sciencist r still using 80's screens, what a video

[spoket505]

what the fuck with this vid... wasting time.... fuck u man

[shonzilla]

How do you insert tiny URLs? :-)

[cigiss]

hahahaha

[MASEOLIO]

lol spelling with my brai...

[CptReed]

stephen doesn't work on this kind of stuff.. also you talk as if he is dead.. he is not

[xboarderx163]

yah or u can just talk pussy

[alexander255110]

is this silent?

[ModNet2001]

yes

[tommasfoolery]

slow as balls.  speed it up fellas.

[PinkProgram]

I need something like that ^_^

But isn't it lazy for humans to use that kind of interface when they have working fingers?

[Lovick001]

But our brains work better.

[PinkProgram]

That is debatable ^_^

[galileo021728]

indeed.

[Oxygaunt]

Some people might not have, you know :P

[PinkProgram]

I know... I don't own the fingers I use. I'm waiting on a full body prosthetic ^_^

[MechaBlazeEagle]

This is for fully paralyzed individuals who DO NOT have use of their hands & fingers.

[PinkProgram]

Well I don't have hands or fingers yet... at least not my own.

[KingdomFan112]

Then, how could you type that reply?

[PinkProgram]

Biological proxy.

[KingdomFan112]

Sorry, but WTF is that ?:P

[PinkProgram]

Borrowed fingers...

[vegettosonlab]

Cool, but it took him forever to spell brain. :P

[fucksatanism]

I can't wait for brain pong.

[bobhub600]

this seems kinda pointless it took like 15 seconds to type one "n" come on what is the point of this

[libanlibanliban]

The first computers where the size of Rooms, what was the point of that?

I think most things start out retarded like that. It's through refining, learning and improving do they get to the advanced phases that we see some technologies today.

[bobhub600]

well yea i guess your right , it could turn out to be kinda good but i don't see it happening in any near future. But the thing is that some people have gotten so used to typing on a keaboard they would not like to get used to a new interface even if it was just thinking of a letter/number in your mind

[libanlibanliban]

Yeah you're right. I think it could maybe have other benefits, like for those that are paralyzed, etc. Who knows. Something else might come of it. Technologies that are made for one thing often end up being used for something else.

[Satanail323]

Stephen Hawkings could benefit...he can only type 4 words a minute using his cheek muscle (the last thing he can move besides his eyes) ...soon he'll probably have to rely on this technology to keep the ability to communicate...poor guy, he's got a lot of will power to go on like he has progressively becoming more paralyzed over the last 40 years, i was surprised to learn he has kids of his own...and married twice O_o

[bobhub600]

TWICE! Good lord even more reasons to think he is awesome ^_^. Yea i say he would use something like this hay they are probably making one just for him . (wonder what his kids are like?)

[iPlantChannel]

sweet :)

[digitalimpulse]

I hope you can explain this better in your magazines because this video and the broken link tells me nothing..

[Kalywonkas]

I think, and this is just me thinking here. That you concentrate on a letter etc. And when it flashed blue your braindwaves spike. It then makes a perpendicular line over other ones that were blue, and voíla

[qpwnsall]

The singularity is near.

[3kToT]

your "more info" link is 404

[EmilxLollipop]

i don't get it..

[jesherka]

weird...
