Using your mind to move object with NeuroSky brain wave technology
ByAccording to a story on the Wall Street Journal :
NeuroSky Inc., backed by $7 million over two venture rounds from WR Hambrecht + Co., Japan-based Marubeni Corp. and Taiwan-based TUVC, has developed a technology and headset that people can use to control a videogame, and users soon may be able to do many more things without lifting a finger.
The company, which this month is expected to start shipping its MindSet headset to consumers, raised its first round in 2006 and second round in 2007.
The technology is based on electroencephalography medical technology, which has been around for decades to measure neuron activity in the brain. But unlike medical EEG, which requires dozens of electrodes attached to the head and a sticky gel, NeuroSky measures similar activity through a headset which uses a sensor that touches the forehead.
