Washington, April 19 (ANI): An innovative technology that could enable people to operate a computer without using a keyboard or mouse - only their brainwaves - have been developed by Ben-Gurion University of the Negev software engineering students.

 

The BGU technology features a helmet equipped with 14 EEG connect points that sense brain activity.

 

"The technology is designed to assist those who are physically disabled who might otherwise be unable to manipulate a computer mouse or keyboard," said Rami Puzis.
