EEG Tech Replaces Surgical Implants with Sensor Cap
Dec-16-16
A new, less invasive EEG tech for brain-controlled interfaces would replace holes in the head with a sensor-laden cap.The cap, created by a team from the University of Minnesota, would help eliminate the need for risky brain implants by replacing the implants with an EEG cap outfitted with 64 sensors. In tests, volunteers wearing the cap were able to control a robotic arm in a 3D environment. The cap owes its success to its ability to filter background noise in order to detect the brain’s neural signals, and then “decode its intention.”

Sensor cap should be released available to biohackers, developers and other interested testers. At the beginning also smaller sensor units could be more affordable to be tested with glasses, headsets and other items. First applications should support studying, testing and brain-control training. If this really works, there will be limitlessly space to new applications.

Ability to brain-control may vary significantly between individuals. Talented persons should be tempted to maximize their skills with competitions or other ways. They could probably produce some kind of elementary programs or brain-control tracks by thinking actions. Beginners could train by following those methods.

Would linking some persons’ caps give more powerful thinking and brain control?

Could this be combined with visualization? An ultrasound illustration from a sore body part is shown on a screen and the patient by one’s own sends real or simulated healing signals to the sore part.

Are there already aiming glasses to physically challenged? Combining EEG cap (Dec-16-16) and Peri glasses (Sep-18-17) different devices could be given on/off commands with focused glance. Training could be done with various gaming elements.
