Subject: An Interesting Information Author: Megha [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 22:15:28 03/30/04 Tue Play Games With Your Brain Imagine playing a video game by just looking at it.you don't need a keyboard,a mouse or a jostick to gpo into a fantasy world.The day is not far off as researchers have developed a video game where the character is controlled directly from the player's brain.Called 'MIND BALANCE',it uses a new wireless handset which picks up brain wave patterns through special electrodes.The player's brain is 'tuned in' by concentrating on flashing images,and then they can control the game. The technology could be used in future computer games,but has its serious uses too.It could help scientists make special computers to help people who can't move well,but can see and think perfectly well. The wireless handset reads brain patterns and to get their brain working with the game,the player first focusses on two chequered boxes which flash at different speeds or frequencies.By looking at the boxes in turn,a frog like virtual character in the game balances and walk across a tight rope.If he starts falling at the left,the player has to concentrate on the right box. The game is not for sale,but it is the way for the researchers to learn how to develop the technology. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
