The next time around you may not need a remote to switch the channels. You could open or close your doors, turn off the switches and even lock/unlock your house by a mere prompt from the brain, thanks to the brain-computer interface technology. The BCI technology gives an innovative option of controlling all the interconnected electronic devices. This technology could give an increased level of autonomy to modern humans tired with their demanding routines and even the physically disabled people.
BCI brings into use the Electroencephalogram- EEG equipment that interprets the electrical activity in the brain using electrodes attached to the scalp. After continuous training, the system learns how to differentiate between patterns of neuronal activity when a human thinks of different activities. The future is bound to make us lethargic but we choose not be caustic on this count at least. Video after the jump.
