SCANNING through large amounts of images or video footage can be time-consuming and laborious. Now a machine that taps into the processing power of your brain can help you do it much faster.
The device, called the cortically coupled computer vision system (C3Vision), was developed by Paul Sajda and colleagues at Columbia University in New York. It uses an electroencephalogram (EEG) to measure electrical activity in the brain via skull-cap electrodes, while the user scans through images. If the user sees an image that grabs their…
