Outline Unencumbered Input New Input Devices Direct Connection BMI: Brain Machine Interface A monkey can control a robot !? Subvocal Speech
UnencumberedInput To reduce wires used to collect input from participant. 1.Elecromagnetic or Ultrasonic Devices 2.Opticial Tracking Method 3.Opticial Tracking + Computer Vision Algorithms
New Input Device In the future, there may be input devices which can change their shape and center of mass to MIMIC their real world counter part.
Direct Connection Originally it is developed for curing blindness and deafness. One day we will be able to perceive virtual world directly in the brain. One day it will be true. But how long will it take ?
BMI: Brain Machine Interface The Famous Animation: Ghost In The Shell
The Sensor • More than 100 micro metal pins are used to record the action pontential of the neurons.
Future Application Of BMI • Patients can use BMI to control his/her arm or a mechanical arm.

Subvocal Speech • NASA scientists have begun to computerize human, silent reading using nerve signals in the throat that control speech.
Subvocal Speech (cont.) Scientists "trained" special software to recognize six words and 10 digits that the researchers repeated subvocally. stop、go、left、right、alpha、omega、0~9 Initial word recognition results were an average of 92 percent accurate.
Subvocal Speech (cont.) With this technology, one can:1.Control a machine by subvocal commands2.People in noisy conditions could use the system when privacy is needed, such as during telephone conversations on buses or trains3.Free your mind and create one!
Subvocal Speech (cont.) Trend Toward Unencumbered Input DeviceScientists are testing new, "noncontact" sensors that can read muscle signals even through a layer of clothing.
