2008-01-25 15:29:11 by Michael in Medgadget
Neural researchers at MIT have developed a biochem technique to selectively block specific neural circuits and then to monitor the effect the blockage has on cognitive function. Combining several cutting-edge genetic engineering techniques, Tonegawa's [Susumu Tonegawa, MIT Professor of Biology and Neuroscience --ed.] laboratory invented a method...

...neural-net system that mimics it to control the arm in a more "natural" manner. It's apparently the "first neural-network-based controller that can control the dynamics of a robotic system in its full operational range, and means that the arm (when perfected) would be able to pick up a cup, sense what the contents feels like and handle it...

2008-03-03 00:45:59 by Editor in Everything USB News, Reviews, Tips
...neural control has been lacking. Last year at CeBIT, OCZ unveiled the Neural Impulse Actuator, a device that promises to let you control your computer to a certain extent via brain, eye, and facial muscle activity Well that was last year and it appears that OCZ is getting ready to start shipping the NIA very soon. Something like this...

2008-03-04 15:10:00 by Paul Miller in Engadget
...Neural Impulse Actuator (NIA) from OCZ could really read thoughts, it'd be a little disappointed right now. In our short time with the "brain mouse" controller, we had some difficulty figuring out what exact "thoughts" did what, with our primary accomplishment being repeated backwards jumping motions while getting destroyed in a match of...

...Neural Impulse Actuator. To begin with, you probably only want to map a single event to your games, but as your confidence improves you'll be able to do more and give your hands a break. And as the NIA can speed up response times (200ms to click fire, 100ms to think it), it means you'll be more efficient at shooting before getting shot We got...

OCZ set to launch Neural Impulse Actuator "brain mouse"

The Article has images
2008-03-03 16:07:00 by Donald Melanson in Engadget
...Neural Impulse Actuator "brain mouse," or NIA for short. According to Daily Tech, the device makes use of a combination of EEG readings, muscle movement, and eye movement to control a given application which, in this case, is mainly intended to be games. Needless to say, the contraption will take a little getting used to, but OCZ says that...
