[Vintage Geek] found an interesting device from 1996 called “MindDrive” which claims you can control your computer with your brain. Oddly, though, it doesn’t connect to your head. Instead, it …read more Continue reading Mind Control… No, Not Like That
The development of a cutting-edge graphene sensor has led to the creation of an interface that is able to accurately control a robot using thought alone. The development has positive implications not only for healthcare but for a range of other industr… Continue reading New graphene sensors make for better brain-machine interface
Mercedes-Benz takes hands-free vehicle control to the next level at this year’s IAA Mobility show in Munich. Its scaly Vision AVTR concept looks as likely to rise up and eat its driver as to obey them, but with a new brain-computer interface, the visio… Continue reading Freakish Mercedes AVTR concept reads your mind, owns your nightmares
Mind control might seem like something out of a sci-fi show, but like the tablet computer, universal translator, or virtual reality device, is actually a technology that has made it …read more Continue reading Mind-Controlled Flamethrower
Brain-machine interfaces are one of those incredible ideas that were once the reserve of science fiction. However, in recent years scientists have begun to experiment with primitive forms of the technology, even going as far as helping a quadriplegic c… Continue reading Scientists read minds of monkeys using new ultrasound technique

On a simple level they might say that the signal from an individual nerve is picked up just as though it were a wire in a loom, and sent to the prosthetic. But that’s a for-the-children explanation which is rather …read more
