Disabled Patients Perform Concert with 'Brain Computer Music Interface' From: Medical Design Technology - 07/20/2015 Pioneering technology has been used to unite a string quartet and four people living with severe disability for a world first in musical performance. The Paramusical Ensemble saw patients from the Royal Hospital for Neuro-disability (RHN) in London interacting with musicians through a Brain Computer Music Interface (BCMI). The system, developed at Plymouth University, allows a person to control musical systems through brainwave signals detected by electrodes placed on the scalp.
