Brain Computer Interface BCI is available

-
Brain Computer Interface is a new technology that allow users to control/Actually use their brain as input devices to their computer instead of the traditional Keyboard and Mouse. I agree we have been using Keyboard and Mouse since decades now , it is time for change.



Details:
The world's first commercial effort at a patient-ready brain computer interface is on display at CeBIT 2010. Intended for patients suffering from locked-in syndrome and other communication-impairing conditions, the Intendix from Guger Technologies allows users to input text using only their brains.

Intendix works using an EEG-sensitive (Electroencephalography) , for those who do not know what is Electroencephalography , please check this link  ) which is cap that measures brain activity that is focused in a particular way. You simply watch a grid of letters that flashes on the screen, focusing on the letter you want to type. When the letter you want lights up, your brainwaves jump ever so slightly, allowing the EEG to determine what to type. Guger Technologies claims that the interface is simple enough that users can utilize it relatively well after just ten minutes of training.

As the brain acclimates to the system, users can type as quickly as one letter per second, making it possible to carry on a conversation and communicate complex thoughts, a step above some of the more rudimentary communication systems that have been devised over past decades.

At more than $12,000 per unit, Intendix is a bit pricey for the BCI enthusiast simply interested in the technology, but the commercialization of the product does signal a new degree of accessibility to brain computer interfacing. It doesn't appear we're going to be mind-melding with our PCs anytime soon, but this certainly marks a small step in that direction.

Access Pay sites without payment or authentication

Guys, This is to Access pay/registration required sites for free I do not know if this will work with every site on the internet plex. but it worked on many sites for me. All what you need to do, is to make your web browser distinguish itself as Google Bot All of us have seen Google returns search results that lead to sites that require a registeration ?, How googlebot index the site without a registration ? Many sites want their site indexed in google to recieve more hits and thus, make more money with advertisment on their site. Even more interesting is the following question: How do we use this to our advantage ? It is Simple , we need to disguise ourselfs as the googlebot, many sites will let you in without authentication/registration. The parameter we have to change is called the User Agent. The user agent defines the browser and version that you use. For example it would show Internet Explorer as your browser if you are using this one. You need to alter your Browser settings to t
