Fresh hacks every day
Producing micro robotics is not yet easy or cost-effective, but why do we need to when we can just control the minds of cockroaches? A team or researchers from North Carolina State University is calling this augmented Madagascar Hissing cockroach an Insect Biobot in their latest research paper (PDF). It's not the first time the subject has come up. There have already been proofs in research … [Read more...]
[Rafael Mizrahi and Anat Sambol] decided that Angry Birds was missing one crucial element - mind control. They grabbed a copy of the game for their netbook and [Rafael] strapped on an Emotiv EPOC headset to see if he could play it without using a mouse or keyboard.

As part of a thesis project dubbed the "Infinity Simulator", he has constructed a system that allows people to fly about using the elaborate rigging system at … [Read more...]
When we hear about a brain controlled Arduino project we immediately think about a coding nightmare. As always, the simple hacks are the best hacks. [Joel] and [Akshay] used hardware from a kid's game as a brain interface for an Arduino. We came across the video (embedded after the break) of their work and asked for more info on what we thought was an incredibly difficult hack. It turns out … [Read more...]
