- youens 2y agoWe did this back in ~2012 with a skateboard. https://youtu.be/zqYJQGk5I4M?si=29a3sTWb31sgft97 https://youtu.be/zqYJQGk5I4M?si=29a3sTWb31sgft97
- ZYbCRq22HbJ2y7 2y agoI have seen this exact project on many resumes from new grads. Is there some reason this happens?
- r-johnv 2y agoCheck the names of the applicants against the article in case multiple members of the same team applied?
- taneq 2y agoYou mean 'brain controlled wheelchair' or 'AggiesBCI'?
- p_l 2y agoAlso so many situations where someone gets inspired to do this, or bands together to build BCI for someone they know, but no productization happens because no profits
- amne 2y agoI can't shake this feeling that BCI-control-anything is a very bad idea overall. What will happen if, in a moment of weakness, the user thinks to just "W" into the middle of the street? They weren't actually going to, but with a BCI-controlled wheelchair I feel like it's hard to make this distinction.
- ordu 2y agoWhey you stay on the edge on a cliff you are sometimes becomes afraid that you could accidentally jump. :) But it doesn't happen (at least it hadn't happen to me, obviously). You cross streets by moving your legs thinking of "W" or maybe about jumping, moon-walking, climbing or flying or anything and it doesn't make your legs jump or to mimic Jackson. I'd bet that practice will make brain controlled things like this, you will be able to control them while thinking about anything, including alternative approaches to control these things in the current situation.
