Revolutionary Interface to communicate with Computers

Have you ever imagined controlling a computer with your thoughts?

Communication between human and machine has always been limited to conscious interaction, with non-conscious communication -- expression, intuition, perception -- reserved solely for the human realm. At Emotiv, they believe that future communication between human and machine will not be limited to the conscious communication that exists today. Users will demand that non-conscious communication play a much more significant role.


The Emotiv EPOC™ Headset from Emotiv Systems is based on the neuro-technology where the brains electrical signals are captured by series of sensors framed in the form of a headset. The signals are sent wirelessly to a processor. Analysis of the signals enables the system to recognise such things as:
Facial expressions, Emotions (fear, excitement, boredom) , Desired force (lift an object or push it way)


The market for this device could be for serious gamers who use their avatars to express emotions with thoughts, making the game more exciting.

The product could revolutionise the gaming market where every gaming device may add additional features where your thoughts can be enliven in the game and make the overall gaming experience more real.


The other mundane computing tasks the headset offers such as moving a mouse pointer on a screen, drag and drop (focus on an object, close one eye to indicate drag, move the head and then open the eye to drop) etc.


The device is also being considered as a revolutionary product for people with different disabilities. Especially, for the people with muscular-skeletal complaints ranging from mild RSI to quadriplegia. However other disorders could find this device useful, including people with learning difficulties, people recovering from a stroke and many others.


Let's talk price,
At this time, Each Emotiv EPOC neuroheadset is priced at $299, and includes standard shipping. Emotiv is currently accepting registrations as this product will be limited at the time of launch which is expected in late 2008. Emotiv will contact the registered customer 30 days prior to shipment to request payment information. Due to limited supplies, a maximum of four (4) neuroheadsets can be reserved.
