Berlin Brain Computer Interface Pt. II

[MrDar3k]

controlling computer with brain is stupid, it happens sometimes to me to want to play a computer game, watch tv and eat at the same time, with a computer like this I can either play computer game or do the other 2 things, so id like to stick with the touchpad

[conman2317]

imagine controller ur iphone with ur mind? no touch screen...

u just think of calling someone and it will... lol

[madeye0]

disapointing thing is that it still can diferentiate only between two states - active/non-active.

[machinevolution]

sooner or later, apple will make a app for this

[DragonPainterDigital]

@machinevolution And then one day everyone use the app and have computer do everything for us, literally. Then later on, Steve Job demand money or he will deny the consumer the app that control their breathing. Kind of fucked up, don't you think? They denied Mozilla Firefox too. So yeah, Apple is worse than Microsoft. :)

i have an idea:

could this one day have applications as a musical instrument? to convert musical thoughts directly into tone and melody, bypassing all the technical considerations of not being able to play the cello, could i still play a cello just by wearing one of these hats plugged into a speaker?

[conijoo]

@MisterElliott89 That would be so great. I totally support that.

[alexross8]

@MisterElliott89

Possibly.

There are similar headgears that record what you think for a certain event , and you can trigger the event by thinking of the same thing. For example , the computer would play a musical note for just so long , so your brain can remember it. You would try to bring up the thought of the musical note , and the musical note would play.To change the note , would take more variation , and the computer would have to study the difference , but it would learn after a while.

This looks so cool! Cant wait till it becomes portable and i can use it!

[Spookysr]

You can do this alot easier with biofeedback monitor sensor which measures galvanic skin response. Your thoughts still control it. However, it takes a lot of practice. You only wear a sensor velcro'd around your finger. EEG is really hard to detect and decode and you must wear a sensor hat.

[Aliendrizzt]

Hey guys there is a finished product of this and its wireless! Its called the Emotiv it is used for games but can allso be used for a universal controller for anything wireless like WiFi ur TV computer if u have a wireless keyboard and mouse all kinds of stuff!

[tcherkewitchDK]

Emotiv uses muscles in the face, like smiles and blinks and not the EEG, like this one does

[skiweek]

The headset being developed by Emotiv probably uses a combination of EEG, EMG, and EOG to achieve external control, and does not strictly rely on the electrical impulses that are used to control facial muscles.

[Vahokif]

It's work in progress, guys.

[ivenousername]

i think it would be easier to just ask someone to do it for you...

[bunnygrl]

ummm i'd rather type with my HANDS then i can tell my grandkids "oh well back in me old days, we used our hands to do the work! pshh our brains? yeahh right"

[johnwest86string]

shut the hell up and get back in the kitchen!

[aletorno]

really fast!! lol

[getstyle]

this is the new motherfucked era

[PeregrinusFalco]

Cool yes, but to me, this isn't super new. I've seen other brain computer interface projects that use the "a-hah!" thing in your brain when it gets to the right thing/group of letters/single letter to type really slow on some science channel thing. Now a good 1 letter out of 24 thing would be more impressive.

[shiftlessxl]

That's a good start. And the government really wants to spy on your youtube comments I'm sure ;)

[someuser90]

my gran kids, will LOL at the fact i used a keyboard and mouse

[mesui]

That reminds me of the two kids in Back To The Future part 2, mocking Marti playing arcade.

I have an input method in my Pocket PC (besides keyboard and handwriting recognition) that's pretty much like this.

[iaintnocommunist]

And what is it? Microphone?

[andreeg]

after a small amount of time, it becomes like moving your arm. you just 'know how' you dont consciously think 'arm up' or say it in your head, or do something, it just happens when u want it to. the brain learns to controll the computer the same way

[filipipauli]

exactly.

[smartboy4]

what do they actually do or say or think in their brain?

[gigijin]

absolutely amazing!!!!

[Seagu11]

The perfect example of why kids shouldn't play on the computer. Kid, are you fucking retarded? Learn how to spell, you stupid shit.

[jomike]

wow thats tight then with just usin yo head for typing

[turnip]

Yeah I know...iv'e seen it all before

the sensors pick up on your thought brain waves.

i'd rather use a keyboad in fear of the governmrnt spying on me some more...

[Hotscreensaver]

That's cool.

[mariguingui]

ummm yea i dont knoe how i could buy that..
