Brain controlled car steers, accelerates, brakes

AutoNOMOS and the Freie Universität Berlin  are developing BrainDriver, the first car that steers, accelerates, and brakes based on its driver’s thoughts. In a recent experiment, Henrik Matzke drove a car at speeds up to 31 mph.

Neuro-signals are acquired with a commercial EEG tool. After training with virtual objects in the software toolkit, bioelectric signals measured by the wireless headset are interpreted as patterns associated with directions. Once a pattern can be linked with a command, a software interface sends these to the Drive-By-Wire System of the car ,which converts messages into actions.
