Thanks for your answers Orozco, I saved them in my mailbox for further reference. And here comes the reason why I purchased an Emotiv BCI.
A friend of mine became paralyzed after having encephalitis, and my idea is to create a prosthetic device that will be used by quadriplegic people like her. The concept is of a 3D-printed glove for her hands and fingers, arms and eventually shoulders. While the idea behind the device is neither “cure” her quadriplegy (which depends of other factors far from my knowledge) nor allow 100% precision and dexterity, it’ll grant her some degree of freedom and autonomy with her upper limbs, and act as a therapy as well.
BCI receives brain signals such as “move right hand”, send these signals to a mobile app or a computer, and these signals are sent to the prosthetic limbs in order to perform the desired movements which are currently not possible due to her palsy.
I’d like to talk with people involved in prosthetics to get things started; I already have some contacts, but the more people involved, the better it’ll be.
Regards,
Franklin
