The Future of Brain-Controlled Devices

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/12/30/brain.controlled.computers/index.html

This news article looks at brain-controlled devices, including those which

provide solutions for medical conditions. Many brain-controlled devices would

be beneficial to the military, which is why the Department of Defense and NASA

are major sources of funding.

The article mentions devices by NeuroVigil (to provide instant feedback to

drivers who start falling asleep at the wheel) and Eos Neuroscience (to develop

light-sensitive protein-based sensors that can treat blindness.) It also

mentions game-based headsets by Neurosky (Mindflex and Star Wars Force Trainer.)
