Beauty invented brainwave control screen machine will be used for medicine

Release date: 2008-07-22

A groundbreaking technology has emerged from San Francisco, where a U.S. company recently unveiled a revolutionary device capable of controlling video games through brainwave signals. This innovation, developed by Emotiv, a high-tech startup, is not only aimed at the gaming industry but also holds promising potential for medical applications and even lie detection. According to a report published by the German magazine *Der Spiegel* on July 13, founder Tan Le introduced a headset equipped with advanced sensors that can detect and interpret brain activity. These signals are then translated into commands that allow users to interact with computer screens simply by focusing their thoughts. Tan Le emphasized the significance of this breakthrough, stating, "There's a direct link between our thoughts and what appears on the screen. The age-old dream of moving objects with just the power of the mind is becoming a reality." Initial tests have shown that users, after some practice, can manipulate on-screen objects—flipping them, moving them around, or even making them disappear entirely. This level of control demonstrates the system’s accuracy and responsiveness. The company is now collaborating with video game developers to create an immersive fantasy game that will fully utilize this brainwave control technology. In addition to entertainment, Emotiv is exploring how this invention could revolutionize healthcare, potentially aiding patients with motor disabilities or helping in neurological research. Law enforcement agencies have also taken interest, seeing the potential for use in forensic investigations. As this technology continues to evolve, it may soon change the way we interact with digital systems, offering new possibilities in both entertainment and critical real-world applications. — Shanghai Medical Device Industry Association
