Background

The true definition of Brain Computer Interface! Each BCI system is made up of three items: a device to measure brain signals, a computing machine to process these and an external item to be controlled. Using NeuroMaker technology, we will learn how to control each three of these items by controlling your own prosthetic hand with your brainwaves! This was the first prototype our BrainRobotics team ever assembled to assess the possibilities of our Brain Computer Interface technology. Now, we’d like to share this with you and see all of the amazing things you can create with it.
