Communicating Using Brain Waves and a Computer
Scientists are developing mind-to-machine technology that could enable people who cannot speak to communicate using their own brain waves and a computer screen. Recently, neuroscientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville, Fla., demonstrated that brain waves, focusing on a matrix of letters, can project letters onto a monitor – with the goal of eventually […]

Brain Waves Used To `Write’ On PC
Neuroscientists working with patients suffering from epilepsy have successfully demonstrated how brain waves might be used to type characters on a computer screen. The researchers presented their findings at the 2009 annual meeting of the American Epilepsy Society. Jerry Shih, one of the scientists from the Mayo Clinic campus in Jacksonville, Fla. who collaborated on […]

Study: Brain waves ‘write’ on a computer
U.S. neuroscientists say they have demonstrated brain waves can be used to type alphanumerical characters on a computer screen. Researchers at the Mayo Clinic’s Jacksonville, Fla., campus said their study showed that people, by focusing on the letter “q” in a matrix of letters, for example, could “write” the letter on a brain-interfaced computer […]

New technology allows typing with brain waves
Scientists from the Mayo Clinic have developed a process using brain waves to type characters on a computer screen, which researchers say is a step toward helping people better control prosthetic limbs. The experiment at the Jacksonville, Fla., clinic involved two patients with electrodes attached to their brain. The patients were able to type […]
