Friday March 11, 2005 | Put Your Thinking Cap On | Computers |
Use your brain to control your computer? It's coming soon. I stumbled across this
story about a brain computer interface
that is being developed at the Helsinki University of Technology.
While it looks like a bad special effect from a low-grade sci-fi movie, the results look promising.
I've always thought that voice-controlled computers just never seemed like a practical idea, but
this interface might have some real uses. If nothing else, this BCI would be of great help to someone without the use of their hands.
In an unrelated story, except the brain aspect, researchers have also found that meditation really does help develop the brain. Quoting:
Brain research is beginning to produce concrete evidence for something that Buddhist practitioners of meditation have maintained for centuries: Mental discipline and meditative practice can change the workings of the brain and allow people to achieve different levels of awareness.
Guess I better start doing some "brain push-ups."
