Imagine playing a video game controlled by your mind. Now imagine that game also teaches you about your own patterns of stress, relaxation and focus. At TEDxToronto Ariel Garten of InteraXon, shows how looking at our own brain activity gives new meaning to the ancient dictum "know thyself."
InteraXon was formed in 2007 when Ariel Garten decided to commercialize the thought controlled computing technology initially developed by world-renowned cyberneticist (and full-time cyborg) Dr. Steve Mann and his colleague, Dr. James Fung.
Garten, Mann and Fung, along with multifaceted engineer Chris Aimone, had been working on various brainwave-controlled art installations and technology demonstrations around Toronto since 2003. Four years later, Ariel realized that brainwave-controlled computing was a technology whose time had come. More on InteraXon in the video below:
