This technology was developed for people suffering with motor dysfunction and has now been successfully tested on actual patients in collaboration with a few domestic hospitals. Based on numerous findings in Neurosciences, have succeeded in electronically obtaining intentions of turning left and right, and foot motions, from the surface of a subject’s head via electrodes. An originally developed signal processing algorithm and a system-on-a-chip circuit automatically translates these electronic motor intentions to the USB keyboard signals, which then controls the avatar movement. During this presentation we will be showing a sample movie demonstrating a person with myopathy controlling his Second Life avatar using his brainwaves </ins></div></td></tr>
