Look Ma! No Hands! No Joystick! No Implant! Just My Thinking Cap!
NEW YOIR, DEC. 10, 2004 --Scientists are one step closer to devising a way for people to control objects using brainwaves -- without the need for intrusive electronic implants or surgery.
Researchers at the New York State Department of Health and the State University of New York have designed a system that monitors electrical impulses from the brain. It uses a super-sensitive cap with 64 electrodes, much like those used in a typical electroencephalogram (EEG), which is placed around the person's head.
