Technology is increasing day by day on world and here is one another example of it.

A new software platform, developed by French scientists, demonstrated in a tech fest at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) here, allows individual to control computer commands by just a ‘thought’.

Acting as an interface designed to translate what happens in the brain into a computer command, this software –’OpenViBE’– is the outcome of a project initiated in 2005 and has a multitude of potential applications.

These allow individuals to communicate with a computer or any automated system without using their hands or other movements to activate a button or remote control.

A person wearing an EEG (electroencephalogram) cap focuses his attention on the letter that he wants to spell out. When this letter flashes a particular brain wave is generated, which is picked up, detected and interpreted by the machine.

Explaining further in technical terms, the scientists said, “OpenViBE is a series of software libraries and modules written in C++ that can be simply and effectively integrated in order to design real-time applications.
