Brain-Computer Interfaces

Brain-computer interfaces -- or BCIs -- provide a direct connection between a human and a computer. Here I discuss research into noninvasive and invasive BCIs, as well as trying out the NeuroSky Mindwave consumer brain interface.

I have made a follow up to this video called “Cyborg Fusion”, which is posted on my ExplainingTheFuture channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2C2NgOhUwg

If you like this video, you may also be interested in my previous show on “Organic Computing”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F7REp0Y9edA

I also discuss BCIs and other future computing developments in my book “Digital Genesis”. You can download a pdf sampler from this page: http://explainingthefuture.com/genesis.html
