Guger Technologies team of researches from Germany produced the first computer control system, which performs with the help of cerebrum signals (BCI). The system will allow the user to create and send E-mails, and also to play computer games.
The system is available for the ordinary PC and for the hand-held computers with Windows.
Work of the system is provided by reading of electroencephalogram of cerebrum by electrodes, strengthening of signal and its programmatic interpretation. The strengthener of cerebrum signals is connected to the computer through the USB-port.
According to developers, a strengthener allows to interpret the signals of the brain with jewellery precision that will allow s to decrease the amount of electrode substantially.
The system is nominated for the European ICT Prize (prize for achievements in area of information and communication technologies).
