VR Mind Control from NextMind: decode the act of focusing
Sorry Elon, no need to drill skulls anymore!
The NextMind sensor is non-invasive and can read electrical signals from the brains' visual cortex using small electrodes attached to the skin. Then the machine learning is used to decode brain activity and pinpoint the object of focus, allowing you to control game actions with your mind in real-time.
The sensor itself is surprisingly small and light — it fits in the palm of your hand, with two arms that extend slightly beyond that. It easily fits under a baseball cap. You just need to ensure that the nine sets of two-pronged electrode sensors make contact with your skin
Currently, it's just a dev-kit that can be paired with 3rd party VR headsets including Oculus. The kit retails for $399 and can be already preordered. The functional is limited, but it is only the first step, I'm very excited to see the further development of this technology!
