When you say real progress, are you referring to the underlying technology itself, or something else?
With regards to the technology, I'm not sure if there's much more room for improving EEG itself, it seems like a solved problem (how do we measure electro-dermal (or brain) activity). However I'm not a neuroscientist, so I may be off base. Where I do see room for improvement is in systems that can automatically make sense of the signals we're reading. This requires gaining a better understanding of the brain, though.
- bgalbraith 11y agoYou are correct. I worked with EEG as part of my PhD research on brain computer interfaces, and it is a super noisy signal regardless of the headset. This makes is very hard to do anything reliably with it outside a pretty narrow scope.
