Project Name: Brain-Computer and Computer-Brain Interfaces: devices for detecting and modifying brain activity
Abbreviation: BrainGain Start date:
September 1, 2007 End date:
December 31, 2013 Project Description:
Brain-Computer and Computer-Brain Interfaces: devices for detecting
and modifying brain activity
Detecting and modifying brain activity is currently one of the fastest
developing areas of research. It promises to bring applications that
have long been thought to be only science fiction, ranging from
mind-controlled computer games to so-called mental prostheses and
treatment for conditions previously thought untreatable.
BrainGain is a Dutch research consortium consisting of researchers,
industry and potential users of Brain-Computer and Computer-Brain
interfaces. The program started in September 2007 and is funded by
SmartMix, a Dutch initiative to support applied research. BrainGain is
researching possibilities of applications for both ill and healthy
users, and aims to eventually manufacture off-the-shelf products
making use of their research results.
