[IxDA Discuss] "Brain-Machine Interface"

[Dan Saffer]

"TOKYO - In a step toward linking a person's thoughts to machines,  
Japanese automaker Honda said it has developed a technology that uses  
brain signals to control a robot's very simple moves.

In the future, the technology that Honda Motor Co. developed with ATR  
Computational Neuroscience Laboratories could be used to replace  
keyboards or cell phones, researchers said Wednesday. It also could  
have applications in helping people with spinal cord injuries, they  
said."
