--------
Tired of typing endlessly on your computer keyboard, or sick of having to always cram your fingers on your smartphone's small screen? Then you may be happy to hear that neuroscientists from the Canton, New York-based Norconnect Inc., the Duke University, and the St. Lawrence University had you in mind when they started developing a new type of technology that will essentially allow you to type anything you want into thin air, without the need of any actual piece of hardware to input your data. The new system relies on analyzing brain waves and muscle-contraction patterns to infer exactly what you are trying to say, the team explains, quoted by Wired. In a new paper, published in the August 26th issue of the open-access journal PLoS ONE, Norconnect Inc. neuroscientist Michael Linderman says exactly how the system will transform scribblings in the air into correct text input. Using a technique known as electromyography (EMG) â€" which analyzes and records the activation sign!
als in muscles â€" as well as pattern-recognition algorithms, the science team managed to make their new technology able to convert electrical signals into their intended correspondent, be it a number or a letter. The end-strife of this line of research, experts add, is the creation of a fingerless glove, outfitted with a l...
