This company combines the blockchain, AI and IoT to control devices with thoughts
- by 7wData
Imagine a world where it was possible to control things with our thoughts. Futuristic as this may sound, it seems that it’s closer than we think. Whether it’sstroke patients using their mindsto retrain paralyzed hands or thecontrol of prosthetic limbs, the use of mind-control is seeing incredible technological developments through implanted sensors in the patient’s brain.
Yet, despite the benefits this is bringing to people’s lives, those who suffer from physical and mental challenges are still unable to take part in daily activities that so many take for granted. For the team behindNeurogress, they believe that in the 21st century great strides should be made to resolve this fundamental inequality. To achieve this, the startup is developing emerging neurocontrol technology, and is combining this ambition with that of artificial intelligence (AI) and the blockchain technology.
While there are neural interfaces currently on the market, these devices can only read basic brain signals. According to Neurogress, there are limitations to these as they can’t respond to high levels of specific brain commands.
To answer the need for this, the development team at Neurogress are creating a neurocontrol software package that is AI-driven and blockchain-based for neurally controlling any device whether electronic or mechanical. All of which will be controlled through the user’s mind. At present, they are working on their first prototype, the neurocontrol of a robotic arm.
Through a wearable neural interface Neurogress’s blockchain network software will be able to recognize brain commands without the need for implanted sensors into the user’s brain. Through this neural interface the developers created an accurate device that converts the brain signals into AI.
According to Neurogress’s white paper, it states:
“This is achieved through incorporating artificial intelligence into the process of interpreting a brain signal and converting it into action. By introducing software which actively generates an evolving algorithm for interpreting an individual’s brain signals, the potential for sending detailed, precise commands to a device is greatly increased.”
Neurogress also mentions that this makes it ‘as easy as the plug-and-play concept could be.’
Once connected to the software the AI system then processes the information from the user’s brain to the Internet of Things (IoT) enabled device, turning thoughts into action. In this case, the robotic arm. This enables people to neurocontrol any gadget on the Neurogress blockchain-enabled IoT network with precision and without the need of a manual control interface.
