Brain computer interface (BCI) can provide a way to help many people suffering from serious illnesses or injuries. In my previous post I mentioned some of the potential dangers of using BCI to monitor brain activity and reveal thoughts. This post adds to the positive aspect of BCI. It is a video from Stanford’s Neural Prosthetic Systems Laboratory. Krishna Shenoy explains how to create a BCI that will enable paralyzed patients to control prosthetic arms and computer cursors. In the video, Shenoy describes how his team of Stanford researchers has built a system that achieves typing at 15 words-per-minute, just by “thinking about it”. In the experiments are using monkeys because their brains are similar to humans.
I am sure that in the near future we will see more BCI devices that will greatly enhance the life of those that have serious kinetic or communication problems.

mukesh.Interesting… I might try some of this on my blog, too. It’s quite interesting how you sometimes stop being innovative and just go for an accepted solution without actually trying to improve it… you make a couple of good points.
