The power of thought and Second Life


To control the avatar on screen, the user simply thinks


The power of thought and Second Life. To control the avatar on screen, the user simply thinks

A research team led by professor Jun’ichi Ushiba of the Keio University Biomedical Engineering Laboratory has developed a brain-computer interface (BCI) system that lets the user walk an avatar through the streets of Second Life while relying solely on the power of thought.

To control the avatar on screen, the user simply thinks about moving various body parts — the avatar walks forward when the user thinks about moving his/her own feet, and it turns right and left when the user imagines moving his/her right and left arms.

The system consists of a headpiece equipped with electrodes that monitor activity in three areas of the motor cortex (the region of the brain involved in controlling the movement of the arms and legs).
