Autodidacts Build Brain-Controlled Prosthetic
نویسندگان
چکیده
Self-taught Kenyan engineer David Gathu has turned his ingenuity and interest in electronics into innovations that help the disabled. Here he's wearing brain-controlled prosthetic arm he autodidact cousin Moses Kiuna cobbled together from salvaged parts. The headset picks up brain signals converts them to electric current is directed a transmitter. transmitter wirelessly relays form of commands arm, which responds with movements match wearer's intentions.

THERE is nothing quite so pleasant as heing able to relax completely whenever you want to. Unfortunately, today's quick pace rarely leaves us the time to truly relax. Perhaps for that reason, scientists have come up with ,111 electronic approach to relaxation that might revolutionize the art of "calming cloWl~." Drawing on knowledge of general psychology, eastern meditation techniques, and, in ...
متن کاملCursor Controlled Prosthetic Grasping from 2D Subspaces
Neurally controlled prosthetic devices capable of object manipulation have much potential towards restoring the physical functionality of disabled individuals. However, the number of user input variables provided by current neural decoding systems is much less than the number of control degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) of a prosthetic hand and/or arm. More specifically, efforts to decode user neural a...
متن کاملHow does a brain build a cognitive code?
This article indicates how competition between afferent data and learned feedback expectancies can stabilize a developing code by buffering committed populations of detectors against continual erosion by new environmental demands. The gating phenomena that result lead to dynamically maintained critical periods, and to attentional phenomena such as overshadowing in the adult. The functional unit...
متن کاملThe prosthetic Conga: towards an Actively Controlled Hybrid Musical Instrument
The prosthetic conga is a hybrid instrument that is played and heard in the regular way, but with a resonant behaviour that can be manipulated in the virtual domain. This realised via sound reinforcement with a loudspeaker inside the conga, and sensing the membrane vibration. While sounding the instrument in this way is relatively simple, achieving precise control over the resonance properties ...
متن کاملDesign and implementation of a voice-controlled prosthetic hand
Current hand prostheses are mostly driven by electromyography (EMG) signal, and existing experiments have proved that multichannel EMG signal controls are not suitable due to early fatigue problems and high effort requirements to perform even simple activities. Therefore, in this study we present a new voicecontrolled active hand prosthesis to perform several basic tasks. We first designed a no...
