Cogitat

曾被認為是科幻小說的概念,這個概念的計算機閱讀人類思想越來越合理的進步領域的遠見者像Elon Musk神經接口。然而,並不是每個人都適應強大的億萬富翁的想法植入一個芯片內他們的頭骨。Cogitat,正從倫敦帝國理工學院開發了一個AI-powered技術,它可以讀取腦電波無需侵入性程序如鑽探到頭骨。公司的非侵入性的方法已經被利用來幫助中風患者的康複過程,並有可能使受雇假肢甚至未來的車輛。Cogitat的突破性技術彌合科幻與現實之間的差距,為利用開辟新的可能性我們的思想的力量。試驗與NHS中風患者現在,Cogitat先鋒腦機接口(BCI)技術,獲得£500 k創新英國格蘭特與遊戲開發商合作,UNIT9。格蘭特從國家創新機構將進一步的發展虛擬現實telerehabilitation平台支持中風幸存者的複蘇。英國創新(過去也支持Aegiq HexisLab)撥款將幫助Cogitat進入下一階段的研發和建立自己的大腦解碼軟件集成到Unit9 telerehabilitation平台之前,試驗在2024年初NHS中風患者。Cogitat創始人艾倫•波尼亞皇家自由顧問NHS信托基金會說,英國授予“創新是至關重要的下一階段的發展,我們相信我們的神經技術可以在資源不足的一個有價值的工具,用於中風康複市場。我們已經開發出一種解碼腦波從運動皮層可佩帶的耳機,與虛擬現實遊戲增加病人參與和鼓勵康複所需的重複的肢體動作。”,西米斯特博士臨床導致中風的倫敦大學學院醫院NHS信托基金會(UCLH)補充說,“一個混合模型與Cogitat療法將成為可能。 A single therapist will work more efficiently by combining face-to-face review with remote observation and feedback via Cogitat’s gaming. Users engaging with the system will feel encouraged to participate in therapy more frequently and for longer periods. Overall, the ‘dose’ of therapy received will increase and lead to better recovery.” BCI pioneer in the UK Co-founded by Allan Ponniah and Dimitrios Adamos in 2020, Cogitat is one of the first to develop non-invasive BCI technology in the UK. It has developed AI technology to translate the brain’s motor cortex signals in order to control computer software like virtual reality games. Cogitat’s work in BCI will revolutionise the care for patients with brain disorders, such as stroke, or limb disabilities. The company will make it possible to provide personalised physiotherapy programs that give patients a sense of valuable progress that will result in greater engagement in the exercises and a higher quality of life. What is a brain-computer interface? A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a revolutionary technology that establishes a direct communication pathway between the human brain and an external device, typically a computer or machine. It enables the exchange of information between the brain and the device, allowing users to control and interact with technology using their thoughts or neural signals. BCIs hold tremendous potential in various fields, including healthcare, rehabilitation, gaming, and assistive technology. By deciphering and interpreting brain activity, BCIs can enable individuals with motor impairments to regain mobility, help researchers study the brain’s functioning, and offer new ways of interacting with digital systems. Although BCIs are still in the early stages of development, ongoing research and advancements in neuroscience and engineering are paving the way for a future where our thoughts have the power to influence and interface with technology directly.
