Brainwave Technology - Take A Peek To The Future

The saying You can achieve what ever your mind can imagine is a well known phrase
in the self improvement and motivational domain. It meant to say that you can achieve
your vision. This is something that is not scientifically proven. As a result we try
to convince ourself and others that it works through case studies and experiences.
The outcome is the mountain of self improvement materials that try to show us how to
do this correctly and and list of convincing examples to show it work.

But this time I am writing about something that is closer to home.
It is about actual advancement in mind or brain technology.
It is about what your mind or brain can achieve, in different sense.
Instead of trying to convince yourself that it would happen sometime in the future,
this time you can actually see it happens right in front of your eyes.

Off course I am talking about controlling a computer keyboard to type using your brain.
Not about how you can be better person and become rich through vision...

How this,I am referring to the keyboard thing, works ? You might ask.

Theoretically it is not that hard. Actual implementation is different story.
It is done by analyzing our brain wave.
What a group of scientists in Brown University found is that there are specific brain wave
patterns associated with each of the letters on the keyboard.
What they do is just tapping the pattern from one scalp, process it through a decoding
software that map it into the letter that the person is thinking off.
Once the decoding is done, the rest is done through the normal electronic data
gathering and these data are fed to the computer.

With this is proven and implemented successfully, we are closer to our goal
to get rid off the last cumbersome hurdle of smaller computers and handphones
- the need for decent size keyboard as an input device.
