OpenBCI, a Brooklyn-based technology company, has devised a 3D-printed headset called Ultracortex Mark IV, which records EEG brainwaves and EMG face muscle signals, converting these into circuit board signals to operate anything from a remote-controlled helicopter to a robotic arm. Jedi masters aren't the only ones who can move things with their minds. The company is working on an even more advanced version of the device, dubbed Ultracortex Mark V, that will be able to record brain activity in real time as well as transmit those data wirel@@ The company has plans to design a new version of the headset that can send electricity into the brain as well as out of it, through a technology called, transcranial direct current stimulation technology (tDCS).
