BPS Brain Positioning System

The video discusses the challenges faced by locked-in patients who are fully conscious but unable to move or communicate. Researchers, supported by the National Science Foundation, are developing brain-machine interfaces to help these patients communicate through computers and robots. By using EEG caps, they can translate brain signals into audio signals to drive speech synthesizers. Experiments show how brain waves can control a computer cursor or a robot, offering new ways for locked-in patients to interact with the world. The technology holds promise for improving the quality of life for those affected by such conditions.

What role does the EEG cap play in the research conducted by Gunther and his team?

What potential does technology hold for locked-in patients according to Gunther?
