Thought-controlled Biosensor Technology operates robots & machines

• Researchers from the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a biosensor technology that can operate devices, such as robots and machines, through thought control. 
• It is based on Micropatterned Epitaxial Graphene which are very conductive, easy to use and robust. The technology works through Brain–Machine Interfaces (BMIs) — hands-free and voice-command-free communication systems that allow an individual to operate external devices through brain waves. 
• According to the researchers, this technology can issue at least nine commands in two seconds.
  The researchers believe the technology will be of interest to the scientific community, industry and government, aerospace and healthcare — for example allowing people with disability to control a wheelchair or operate prosthetics.
