Brain-controlled Computer Tracks Attention – BodyWave

Controlling computers — or anything else — with the brain has been done using electroencephalograms, or EEGs, but they require wearing a skullcap on your head. Now a small company in North Carolina says it has a way around that, and in the process has created an tool for training people to stay alert when involved in important tasks.

Freer Logic http://www.freerlogic.com/ (named for its founder and CEO Peter Freer) came up with a system called BodyWave. It’s not dissimilar to an ordinary EEG, except it works with sensors that can be put around an arm rather than the head.
