Description:

Researchers are developing technologies that will eventually allow users to control devices like computers, televisions and cell phones with their thoughts. Scientists have created Brain Computer Interface, also known as “BCI,” technology that allows computer programs to interpret human intentions by reading their brain waves. Researchers have used BCI to develop a system that enables completely paralyzed patients to communicate using dedicated email and word processing programs. Scientists say it could also lead to brain-controlled prosthetics.
