Brain-Controlled Drones Contest Held In University of Florida
The University of Florida hosted the first ever mind-controlled drones contest, thanks to sensors placed on the pilot\'s skulls. The race was billed as a \"competition of one\'s cognitive ability and mental endurance requiring competitors to out-focus an opponent in a drone drag race fueled by electrical signals emitted from the brain.\"
The University of Florida hosted the first ever mind-controlled drones contest, thanks to sensors placed on the
pilot's skulls. The race was billed as a "competition of one's cognitive ability and mental endurance requiring competitors to out-focus an opponent in a drone drag race fueled by electrical signals emitted from the brain."
Sixteen competitors had one goal in mind: Move their drones as fast as possible across a finish line 10 yards away... with their brainwaves.
Wearing electroencephalogram (EEG) headsets that identify electrical activity in the wearer's brain, the 16 contestants, all students at Florida, demonstrated the advances in brain-computer interface (BCI). Organizers of the event describe BCI as "the utilization of a brain imaging device for the purpose of controlling machines with the human brain and to understand the human's emotional condition or state."
