Mind-controlled Prototype Wheelchair is Unbelievable

Unfortunately this article is far too light on details. But food for thought I suppose.

If I had my druthers, I'd very much like to work in this field. Developing new ways to better empower disabled folks must be one of the most rewarding (and sadly perhaps frustrating) tech careers.

When I think of the time we "waste" (and yes, I realize it isn't really a waste) on the whims of a clueless management by designing a trivial product feature or tweaking a process to save a dollar per year, it kind of puts work like this wheelchair in perspective.

But enough daydreaming. I have to go source an LED now. The color of which must "invoke the sensation of a young pine tree's scent".

If you want to find more nittys and grittys on this tech, search BCI - that's "brain-computer interface". There's at least one open source platform out there, so there's nothing to stop you from getting into it. I read about it on PubMed.
