every now and then engadget will make you laugh, that's their charm i suppose.

now the real question is, will i have to set up sensors around the monitor and periodically re-center the device a la power glove? ]]>Mar 8th 2006 10:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/

>FIVE TO TEN minutes?

Yeah, but if that person is paralyzed, the ability to write a sentence at any speed is really important. Also, improved word prediction algorithms based on context may be able to speed up that time for them in the future, in addition to better hardware.

Check out the mawg walking the tightrope!]]>Mar 9th 2006 6:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/
The previous sentence has 28 words, in 10 minutes, that is just over 20 seconds a word, given that they are controlling a mouse, at the average of just under 5 letters per word, that is 4 seconds per click.

Now imagine you broke your neck, can't move and would love a way to interact with the world. I give you one of these caps and a computer screen with some basic menus that allow you to control several key aspects of your life: the lights, the tv & the phone. If it took you 4 seconds to turn on a light you are moving MUCH faster than anyone who has to walk to the light switch. If you can make a phone call without the help of others, do you think you really need email?]]>Mar 9th 2006 10:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/The sentence might be "I am".

Anyway, I think the speed thing is because this is a technology in its infancy. When they start drilling into peoples heads or something, it will probably get quicker.

-that will likely never become an issue. Most people can't control their toughts for more than a few seconds at a time before they get get distracted. The amount of concentration required to created a feasibly realistic looking video even a few seconds long would take nothing short of genius to produce.

"imagine a world where you cant even trust videos or audio recordings, O_o for evidence"

Welcome to 2006. This is the Photoshop era. A bunch of amateurs can produce photorealistic results with readily available tools -- the better stuff on worth1000.com is only the tip of the iceberg. I think BCIs are the least of our photomanipulation worries.]]>Jun 10th 2006 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/
What would be the result if you combine this with a 3d google? What kind of virtual reality would that be? My oppinion is that you can get the brain to a point where it can't tell if what it senses is reality or not (as long as it is not trying to move the body... though it is fizically posible to simulate a false sense in the brain).]]>Jun 16th 2007 10:31AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/http://www.engadget.com/2006/03/08/the-brain-computer-interface/Jul 3rd 2008 9:57AM
