Thread: Typing with brain

Guger Technologies has introduced its Intendix, a system measuring the electro-encephalogram to permit the user to type with his thoughts.

Explanation
The system costs 9 000 € and it is far from perfect. The cap that we must wear is most unsightly and the system asks the user focuses on one letter each time until the system probes the character grid, make the flash you want to use. It is certainly slower than using a keyboard, but this could be an interesting tool for people who suffer from disabilities that make using conventional devices difficult or impossible.



Demonstration
Two videos showing Intendix and performed by the manufacturer have been posted on YouTube. The first shows that it is possible to control a character in Second Life and the second is to subject a user typing a word.
