Brain-Computer Interfacing

2003-12-08 11:32 in /tech/nips
Have arrived at the hotel and checked in and registered. Now at the tail end of the first tutorial, "Towards Brain Computer Interfacing". Playing Tetris by thought alone!

Well, pretty much only got the conclusions:
- It works!
- Currently required hundreds of hours to train the system and the user
- This might be okay for medical uses, but not general use
- Probably don't need to aim for near instant usability. Some training is okay, e.g. learning graffiti for Palm, or dictation software.
