Samsung has taught the tablet to read minds Bashny.Net

Modern gadgets provide people with great opportunity, drastically changing their daily lives. However, disabled people who have impaired motor skills to use smartphones and tablets while that is incredibly difficult. Especially for them, Samsung is testing the device control using thought.
New technology can not only help disabled people to use modern gadgets, but also to simplify device management for healthy people. To test the new technology, Samsung is using the Note 10.1 tablet Galаxy. Volunteers need to wear a special cap with electrodes and the power of thought to start applications and select contacts and songs.





However, to date, the process of mental control is not too comfortable. First, you need to wear on the head cap with electrodes that reads the EEG. The speed of the process, too, leaves much to be desired: for each command, the user needs a few seconds to focus on one of the characters on the screen.
It should be noted that earlier for the similar system on the head inflicted special conductive gel, and attaching the electrodes took about 40 minutes. But in order to function a new development of Samsung, the head of anything dirty is not necessary. Moreover, wear of the electrode cap is only for ten seconds.





The system is quite efficient now, although the accuracy of recognition of mental signals is not very high. However, technology is developing rapidly. “To predict what will bring this development in the future, almost unreal“ — note the creators.
