Hands-free control
of computers and electrical devices
The Cyberlink Interface is a communication link between humans and
machines. Anyone wishing to explore the world of brain-actuated control
can now operate computer software and any electrical device directly
from the control center - the mind.
The Cyberlink system is easy and fun to use and can
be learned quickly. Strap on the headband, plug into your computer and
let your mind do the rest.
Brain
and body signals detected by the sensors in the headband are amplified,
digitized and transmitted to the computer as multiple Brainfingers to
affect feedback displays, control a mouse or an interactive video game,
navigate a productivity or business application, use a web browser,
control almost any Windows application, play musical synthesizers or
sound cards, activate peripheral devices, adjust environmental controls,
etc.
Cyberlink Interface is based on a breakthrough technology that senses
and responds to the minute surface electrical signals that result from
brain and subtle muscle activity. Twelve different biological signals
derived from the forehead control the location and left/right functions
of the mouse. Individual control formats and adjustments are easily made
through the user-friendly graphical interface.
How it works
Three Sensors in the headband detect your brain and facial activity. The
Cyberlink interface unit amplifies and translates this data into
separate frequencies and transmits them to the IBM compatible PC serial
port. The Cyberlink software processes and displays these frequencies as
10 continuous command signals called Brainfingers and up to 4 discrete
command signals generated by specific eye and facial gestures.
The Brainfingers control the two-axis mouse cursor, affect visual and
musical biofeedback displays, and also can be user-formatted to send
mouse button and keyboard commands. The eye movements and facial
gestures are separately mapped to a repertoire of user-formatted mouse
and keyboard functions and software commands.
The Display Panel
The Display Panel shows both your Brainfingers and your actual signal.
Each Brainfinger represents the current energy level of a specific
frequency component of your total signal spectrum. You can choose to
view either your BrainBody signal, an EOG trace, or an EMG trace in the
lower panel. This tool is especially useful for learning how to control
different aspects of your signal and as a biofeedback device.
Technically Speaking
The increasing sophistication of computer programs and communication
systems requires the development of more efficient, intuitive and
interactive human-computer input interfaces.
Similarly, computer hardware is miniaturizing; becoming less cumbersome
and more portable at an incredible rate. What was on your desktop
yesterday, is on your laptop or palmtop today and will be on your wrist
watch or ring tomorrow…fully integrated with your home PC and the NET.
Imagine having to carry a ‘qwerty’ keyboard and mouse in your briefcase
or pocketbook to use with your wrist watch computer and eyeglass
monitor! Input devices will have to miniaturize as well and become more
direct, intuitive and able to be used while your hands (and part of your
attention) are engaged elsewhere.
Suggested Uses
For individuals with limited control of their facial muscles, the
Cyberlink software can be formatted to use BrainBody or EOG inputs
(instead of EMG) to activate switch closures and mouse button clicks.
The Cyberlink System provides an intuitive, more direct, easily learned,
hands-free, language-independent control interface. It represents a
cutting-edge technological achievement in the user-computer interface
making possible new computer control methods to empower the disabled and
all users of tomorrow’s technology.
Applications and Games
The Cyberlink is packaged with several applications and games. Each one
was designed by the people at BAT to not only be enjoyable, but help to
improve your skills as well.
