Toyota Wheelchair Running by Thought



Toyota developed a new and modern wheel chair which is a brain machine interface which can be steered just by thoughts. This don't need any special treatments or surgery. It can be done just by wearing a skullcap which is used in electroencephalograms (EEGs). The user can just think to move the wheel chair and turn left or right. It works as if we think. The thinking signals are received by a computer and the program converts the signal into action.

This will be a great foot print for the present world's growing population of old citizens. The company offers an extremely fast response by the machine. Rajesh Rao, an associate professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington said : "The kinds of signals you usually get are very, very noisy. What they're saying is that unlike previous attempts at controlling objects, this is done at a higher level. You're getting signals that are noisy and processing them."
