All in the mind

摘要

Essex university researchers are developing a system that could give people complete freedom to move a cursor around a screen using thought alone.The research takes a novel approach to brain computer interfaces (BCI) that gives a person's electroencephalograms (EEGs) complete control of a computer.By the end of the project the team, headed by Dr Francisco Sepulveda, hopes to have created a system that dispenses completely with the mouse/keyboard interface. Joysticks. haptic interfaces, voice recognition and myolectric controls could be rendered obsolete, too.
