SAMSUNG BRAIN POWERED TABLETS


Samsung is about to achieve new highs in technology with the launch of its ultimate project which is based on telepathy.


             FUNCTIONING OF TAB

SAMSUNG is looking to ditch not only the keyboard but the touch screen in favor of mind control.

This new technology would allow users to control a computing device with their thoughts alone.

A project at the Samsung Emerging Technology Lab in partnership with Roozbeh Jafari, an assistant professor of electrical engineering at the University of Texas, the research has already enabled test subjects to launch apps on a tablet, pick a song on a playlist or a contact from an address book and power up or power down the device. 
According to the MIT Technology Review, which first reported on the project, don't expect to see these features rolling out as part of Samsung's 2014 product line-up.

HOW TO CONTROL:
To control the tablet with mind alone, users needs to wear a cap full of EEG monitoring electrodes which only work when wet, meaning that a gel needs to be applied to the head.
 As quoted by Jafari : "Depending on how many electrodes you have, this can take up to 45 minutes to set up, and the system is uncomfortable."

MAIN PURPOSE:
The ultimate target of the project is to recognize and isolate the right brainwaves, to develop better sensors that can work without liquid and, ultimately, to offer another form of device interaction, something that could be a true breakthrough for those who, due to disabilities, are unable to operate technology via voice, swipe, touch or gesture.
