Just a simple thought in order to move from one place to another in your home or your office, on an automated wheelchair that can read brain activity. This is not science fiction, but a project carried out by the laboratory's artificial intelligence and robotics Politecnico of Milan , intended for those who have restricted in mobility.
The wheelchair is connected to an interface system between brain and computer, which analyzes the electrical signals recorded from a headset with electrodes. To make a move is necessary to observe the screen, connected to the automated chair, which has from time to time a series of words on the home environment. It should be noted the word enlightened and focus at this point, the system recognizes the response to light stimulus.
For the moment, the wheelchair prototype works only and exclusively in a closed environment, I wonder if in a not too distant future people with disabilities can use the mobile device in open spaces.
