Fail to Control a Computer With the Brain

Biomedical NeuroEngineering Group at the University Miguel Hernández (UMH) and the Center for Biomedical Research Network in Bioengineering, Biomaterials and Nanomedicine have developed a brain-computer interface that lets you control the computer and even surf the Internet using brain activity.

Research on brain-computer interface, led by Jose Maria Azorin and Eduardo Fernandez, professors at the UMH, and in which the student participates Jose Luis Sirvent, will be presented in April at one of the major conferences worldwide on intelligence artificial.

this interface allows full control of the computer and all its applications. The tool uses electroencephalographic signals (EEG) that are collected using surface electrodes placed on the head of the person.

The interface can detect what the intention of the person using evoked potentials, corresponding to EEG signals that reflect an automatic response from the brain to external visual stimuli.

This research is part of a research project granted by the Ministry of Science and Innovation, which are developing brain interfaces to control robotic devices.
