Jan. 17 - KGO - Imagine controlling your
electronic appliances, tools or toys by simply using your mind. Well
that's the future and a Silicon Valley company is leading the way.
The patented device created by Neurosky in Silicon Valley, uses a mathematic secret that turns brain waves into commands.
Stanley Yang, Neurosky CEO: "We essentially created a bunch of
different algorithms. One for each emotion, for example the attention
algorithm."
Interfaced with a video game, you place the cursor on an
object. A strong "attention" reading enables you to push or pull
objects.
A strong "meditation" reading enables you to levitate objects.
You have to practice gaging your level of concentration, also finding ways to disrupt it.
Neurosky simply builds the brain wave-reading component. Other companies like Ologic apply it to their products like a robot.
Ted Larson, Ologic CEO: "What we were really the most excited
about is you can pretty much control any mechanical system using their
technology. "
Eventually Ologic wants to use Neurosky's technology to build
thought-controlled robots for the handicapped and elderly and NASA
wants to create robots to help astronauts whose gloves are too bulky to
work a joy stick or hold tools.
The device can also read neuron pulses, so a blink of your left or right eye can create a command.
Neurosky says it will only add about $15 to the consumer product
and by next year, you may already see video games, toys and even cell
phones controlled by your brain waves.
