“Look Mom, no hands!” might not only be a phrase used for excited young bicyclists but may also translate onto speedy and congested highways if a group of Artificial Intelligence German researchers perfect their latest project—brain-powered vehicles. The team of researchers, who work for AutoNOMOS innovation labs in Freie Universitat Berlin, are in the midst of compromising a technological system called the BrainDriver that will make all of those pesky tasks like using hands and feet to steer and brake obsolete. Drivers will also be able to spark the ignition, turn left and right, and accelerate or decelerate simply using their brain waves. Sounds like something ripped out the pages of a H.G. Wells novel right? Well if lead researcher Paul Rojas and his colleagues can work out all the kinks in their state-of-the-art technology, then the steering wheel might just [...]

Mind Technologies Inc is currently the software leader in thought controlled software applications. The company creates applications for the Emotiv EPOC neuro-headset, a revolutionary new personal interface for human-computer interaction. The Emotiv EPOC is a high resolution, neuro-signal acquisition and processing wireless neuro-headset which uses a set of sensors to tune into electric signals produced by the brain to detect player thoughts, feelings and expressions and connects wirelessly to most PCs. In essence, it is a brain-computer interface technology which reads the electrical impulses of your brain. Since every thought that we have has a different neuron firing pattern, with the help of EEG technology and the latest from the growing field of cognitive mapping, we can capture the electrical impulse, read it with the headset and convert it into a software command. Currently Mind Technologies Inc has 3 applications [...]
