Talk:Brain-computer interface
|
|
I wrote the first definition for "direct mind-computer interface" and subsequently edited it. Both of which I did before having a log in to Wikipedia.
So, I thought I'd just post this to take credit/blame for the page, rather than leaving it be completely anonymous.

Interesting link on a company that does something similar: Brain Actuated Technologies, Inc. (http://www.brainfingers.com/)
Redirect and massive edits
So I've totally reworked this section. It was originally "direct mind-computer interface", but that is inherently misleading. The original article spoke about interfacing mind and consciousness with machines, which is entirely different from the crux of the article, which was interfacing brains and computers. In the theory of mind, mind and brain are not interchangeable. Since BCIs are about practical interfaces and not theory, and since the original article references these practical interfaces, I redirected everything to this new article.
I have included new links citing the new research I mentioned in this article, and uploaded a public domain image from a ground-breaking PloS article published in 2003 demonstrating a BCI. I've also tried to conform to Wikipedia's style. Any input would be greatly appreciated however, since today is my first day at this Wiki thing, and I may have over-stepped my bounds.
I also left a comment in neuro cybernetics and computational neuroscience, as someone was suggesting those two topics merge. I disagree with that idea and I suggest neuro cybernetics merge with this article (or vice versa).

- Excellent work. - Omegatron 13:28, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks man. I appreciate the feedback. Any suggestions for a newbie, since this is the style I will probably build from? Semiconscious 19:33, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Nah, it's great. If people don't like something they will fix it for you. :-) Just watch articles you have edited and see what people change (like my nitpicking of this). Can you check over Electroencephalography? Or you could take your newcomer enthusiasm over to neurofeedback. It needs to be cleaned up... - Omegatron 23:52, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
