UPCT researchers are developing a sensor that will be able to interpret distance human thought.
This is a system installed in a hat or a helmet, by way of intelligent clothing, you can decode the intent of the brain.
Such systems apply to people with neurological disabilities and robotic control units or other dynamic devices.
In this study involved researchers from the U.S., Murcia and Castilla y León.
The UPCT professor Juan López Coronado, research group leader Neurocor (Neurotechnology, Control and Robotics), explains that the device can decode the human intentionality through non-invasive sensors connected to the cerebral cortex, ie without pierce the cranial area and developing complex computer programs are able to interpret basic aspects of human thought
The researcher points out that, for example, between two people who have installed the sensor in a cap or a helmet, one can interpret in advance that the other person intends to shake hands in greeting, among others.
Applications of the project, the goal is monitoring people with neurological disabilities and the elderly.
There is also the possibility, according to Lopez Coronado, remote control robot actions to prevent undesirable accidents, ie, giving orders to the robot remotely.
This project involves two partners: Foundation UPCT ATTICO and represented by NEUROCOR Research Group.
The latter is responsible for the scientific developments and coordination of the group of neuroscientists and engineers carrying out the project.
UPCT researchers are working in the field of Brain Machine Interaction (Brain Computer Interface, in Anglo-Saxon name.)
The group works Neurocor Advanced Automation, including research related to modeling the brain and its application to independent learning in robotics and human-computer interaction, among other lines.
The project, which will develop over the next three years, has received funding from mycin within the Sub-Technology Centers.
The budget amounts to 1,200,000 euros.
