Mind-controlled Quadcopter demonstrates new possibilities for people who are paralyzed

The video discusses a brain-computer interface developed by Professor Ben He and his team at the University of Minnesota. This technology allows users to control a quadcopter using brain signals, offering potential benefits for people with disabilities. The system uses a non-invasive EEG cap to capture brain signals, which are then processed to control the quadcopter. Participants use motor imagination techniques to navigate the device. The ultimate goal is to enable individuals with disabilities to perform everyday tasks independently, with future applications potentially including controlling devices like TVs and phones.

What kind of training do participants undergo before controlling the quadcopter?

What societal benefits are associated with the development of this brain-computer interface technology?
