BCI at g.tec

newby at BCI ??
read this very good survey by the (muy sympathico and very competent) Christophe Guger from (the beautifull city of) Graz. Or better yet pay him a visit in bejing (at HCII 2007 in Beijing from July 25 to 27, 2007). And don't forget to pay him my regards and say hello from georges.
Visit his website for nice tutorials and video's as a general but very good introduction to this (fascinating) subject.

Insomnia

CAVE: Reading this Blog can cause insomnia
Should that ever happen then be aware that there is a new sleeping pill kid on the block that is said to regulate the sleep wake cycle and not cause addiction. To good to be true ?. Time will tell.
The kid has a name though: ramelteon (Rozerem) by Takeda compagny
and a very nice presentation of sleep-wake neurophysiology and chemistry is presented here. Not "die hard" science but nicely presented.

BRAINGAIN
Now that is only a bad joke ( maybe as token of slight envy) because in reality the effort that the Dutch have done to promote research on EEG and BCI deserves a lot of Kudo's. Now how come that such a collective endeavour is not possible in belgium ? Vision and proactivity is demonstrated in Holland. Let's all congratulate them. Read about it here of lees het hier
