The researchers of the company are already at work together with Professor Roozbeh Jafari of the University of Texas. The project is being executed and has a name called tablet piloted by EEG, Electro encephalogramme. The experiments are conducted with a series of electrodes placed on the head of users guinea pig to detect brain activity and transcribe it in a control computer. The technique is already used in the medical field to operate the electronic devices intended for patients with movement disorders but the system is still in the pipeline away from the market.
