New Vision AVTR Concept                                                                   Source:  Mercedes Vision AVTR Brain Computer Interface at Work Mercedes Benz, at the IAA Mobility 2021 show in Munich, unveiled a concept car that redefines the relationship between car and driver.  With its Vision AVTR, Mercedes has innovated an electric concept car controlled by the driver's thoughts.  The car uses a brain-computer interface to record a driver's brain waves by wearable electrodes attached to the head.  Mercedes has partnered with Disney on this concept car, which was inspired by Disney's Avatar.  The Vision AVTR is all electric, zero emissions with a 350 kW electric engine. How Does It Work? According to Mercedes, the brain-computer interface (BCI) calibrates the measured b...

World 1st:  Mind-Controlled Robotic Arm Continuously Tracks & Follows Computer Cursor Source:  Carnegie Mellon & University of  Minnesota 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 de...
