May the Force Be With You: Move It With Your Mind – The Huffington Post

A few days ago, I was introduced to Neurosky’s brain-computer interface technology. In essence, Neurosky’s unit senses brain activity noting general levels of attention and meditation. The unit then translates this activity to move objects in the real world or in a game on a computer screen. Yes, that’s right. You can finally move things just by thinking about it.

Here’s the long and short of it. The user wears a headset that looks very similar to a common pair of headphones. The technology uses what’s called electroencephalography to record brain signals. In the common medical sort, a conductive gel is used to facilitate the collection of these signals. In Neurosky’s case, they use one patented dry-active sensor for getting the job done.

‘”InteraXon is able to take what was once limited to only an exciting idea, and make it into a reality – they possess a unique and creative vision for thought-controlled technology. It is exciting for us to see a partner like InteraXon take the MindSet and develop it into applications that are well designed, easy to use and compelling to engage with,” says NeuroSky CEO, Stanley Yang.

In addition to the Bright Ideas display in the Winter Olympics, athletes in the upcoming Summer Olympics are applying NeuroSky’s technology to athletic training. The United States Olympic Archery Head Coach Kisik Lee and Resident Athlete Coach Guy Krueger use NeuroSky’s technology to identify optimal thinking patterns for each of the athletes. “We are able to see how an archer thinks and from the data we can help them adjust how they think for an optimum mental state for competition,” said Coach Guy Krueger.’
