Brain Computer Interface (BCI)

2018-11-22 07:56:12

Brain Computer Interfaces (BCI) allow our nervous system to be connected to a machine, and hence, to control that machine with our thoughts. So far the control was quite minimal in terms of both speed and accuracy, resulting in a slow and limited number of ways to interact with machines. In a new study, BrainGate2 technology was used to connect the motor cortex of some patients with a off-the-shelf tablet. The results were pretty impressive - operating the tablet with the BrainGate2 was reported to be as easy as using a mouse.

Combining humans and machines: Neurally controlled bionics

2018-11-21 08:20:58

New bionic leg from MIT that allows 'mind controlled' movements of the artificial limb. This technological marvel is possible thanks to an agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI), an interface between the nervous system and the artificial limb. This prosthesis has been reported to function as well as the real limb. We are definitely living in exciting times.

Artificial Intelligence: Cognitive Cameras and Mental Rotation

2018-11-21 07:41:27

Internet of things (IoT) is becoming a reality, enabling billions of devices to be connected to the Internet. The flow of data produced by all the connected devices is already enormous, and with the upcoming 5G network will increase exponentially. As a result, our devices need to become "smart" so that they can take autonomous decisions. One of the leading players in this field is, surprise surprise, Alphabet's Deep mind, which early this year achieved the ability of 'mental rotation' - like humans.
