Courtesy of TED, Tan Le demonstrates her take on the old Mind/Machine Interface trope. The Emotiv Systems’ EPOC headset uses 16 sensors to scan the brain and some very fancy algorithms to identify neural activity and translate this into control signals. Here are ten questions to keep in mind to the degree that the mind can keep anything. 1. Funny how this one seems to be as advanced as it is when speech recognition is still pretty clumsy. Will we jump into full mind/machine connectivity and bypass language altogether? (Just…

Your Dream Images Can Be!

What you see above are captured images from someones brain. That’s right. Scientists at Japan’s ATR Computational Neuroscience Laboratories in Kyoto showed a group of test subjects a series of still images to get a basic reading of their brain activity. They were then shown each of the letters that spell the word ‘neuron’. By using a functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging device (or fMRI) to monitor changes in blood flow in the visual cortex, they were able to view the images from the brain on a computer display. The team…
