Mind-Controlled Musical Instrument Could Aid Stroke Patients
From: R&D Magazine - 07/13/2017

Making music may soon involve less instruments and more brainpower.

A team of neurologists has developed a hands-free, thought-controlled musical
instrument called the Encephalophone that could empower and rehabilitate
patients with motor disabilities from strokes, spinal cord injuries,
amputation, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

The device collects brain signals through a cap that transforms specific
signals into musical notes and if coupled with a synthesizer could allow the
user to create music using a wide range of instrumental sounds.

However, there are plans to study how to control the device by eye movement
because it would be the most useful application for disabled patients.
