Paralyzed Patients Composed a Beautiful Symphony Using Only Their Brains
Paralyzed Patients Composed a Beautiful Symphony Using Only Their Brains
By directly tapping into the neurons firing away in our brains, so-called brain-computer interfaces allow us to imagine a future in which we can, essentially, read each other's minds. While we're not quite there, the use of EEG technology has allowed patients without the ability to move or speak to communicate in other ways, like through music.
Patients are 'locked in' but the tech allows them to participate in a musical activity in real time, with musicians, and other patients. Creativity, social interaction, self-expression. Really nice. And an important early step in the 'brain tech' I'm certain will be widely accessible in many applications, one day.
