Noninvasive Brain Computer Interface
World 1st: Mind-Controlled Robotic Arm Continuously Tracks & Follows Computer Cursor
Breakthrough Technology
This is very exciting breakthrough technology. Engineers from Carnegie Mellon and University of Minnesota have invented a non-invasive, brain-computer interface (BCI). It's an EEG cap that enables a person to control a robotic arm simply by their thoughts. The control over the robotic arm is very sophisticated. Through the person's thoughts, the robotic arm can continuously track and follow a computer cursor. No surgery and no brain implant are required.
Head Cap - Noninvasive Robot Device Control
The team has developed an EEG head cap that can detect signals deep in the brain. These signals of information and commands are clarified by new, novel sensing and machine learning techniques that the team invented. This is also the first, noninvasive robot device control by the mind.
Results and Broad Applications
This innovative system results in a high level of control of the robotic arm and brings us much closer to BCIs that don't have to be implanted in the brain. The system has already been extensively tested on 68 humans, each involved in up to ten sessions. The research team believes this will have broad applications including for those who are paralyzed or with motion disorders. They add that in the future this could be a pervasive "assistive technology" helping everyone, like smartphones.
