I'd like to know if anyone have first hand experience with brain wave and other (hyped) input devices like IBVA or others and/or pointers to informations ?

The pioneering work in this field was done by Andrew Junker, formerly Air Force labs. He now uses his system to sail his boat. At Rand Mac Millan Air Force Base, they have a simulator that is controlled by brain waves alone. Note that all the brain wave interfaces only allow a simple left/right type of control. Right turn is easy, but left turn is rather hard to learn. Anything bejond that, as well as direct input of data into the brain requires a direct link to neurons that can only be achieved by surgical means. See Brindley G S et al and the work done by Normann R A at U of Utah for the studies that defined the field. I have developed a design that solves the notorious problem of connecting the silicon matrix to individual neurons, but really can't elaborate on it until I get around to file a patent for it. Also take a look at the breakthroughs reported in PHYSICS NEWS UPDATE The American Institute of Physics Bulletin of Physics News Number 236: August 7, 1995 by Phillip F. Schewe and Ben Stein available at http://www.hep.net/documents/newsletters/pnu/1995/pnu-236.html Have fun, - --- [This message has been signed by an auto-signing service.
