Toyota Develops DIY Brain Powered WheelChair!

by max on Monday, June 29th, 2009

We’ve seen the brain-powered Twitter machine for people with spinal cord injuries.  Well, Toyota has just announced a fully-capable brain-powered wheelchair that you can control with your favorite human body part, the brain!  I too, wonder when we will be able to drive a car with our brains but the wheelchair is no small feat for sheezy.

According to Toyota, the company’s BMI technology has advanced to the point where it’s practically instantaneous (the delay is just 125 milliseconds), is 95-percent accurate and will adapt itself to any user’s thought patterns. Next logical question: How long until our cars come sans pedals and steering wheels?
