SCHIEDLBERG, Austria, November 9 /PRNewswire/ -- For more than 20 years
researchers all over the world have been working on the development of a
Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). This is a direct communication channel
between the brain and a computer. Such a system enables completely paralyzed
patients to communicate or to control devices in their environment just by
mental activity. During the last years some patients have been supervised by
the researchers themselves to use such BCI systems in daily life. The
Austrian company g.tec medical engineering GmbH now brings the first
patient-ready BCI on the market. The EEG-based spelling system is called
intendiX and enables the user to select keys from a matrix just by paying
attention to a target symbol on the screen.
In this way the patient can write messages or commands. intendiX can
speak the written text, print it or copy it into an e-mail message. The
system is designed to be used without the assistance of a technician and can
be installed and operated by the caregiver. For most users intendiX works
pretty fine after only a few minutes of training. For paralyzed patients the
system has to be tried and evaluated in every specific case. Therefore g.tec
provides systems for rent to patients and hospitals. g.tec is a worldwide
provider of hard- and software for biosignal and BCI research and is actively
cooperating with worldwide leading research-groups for many years.
Please visit http://www.intendiX.com to see the system.
