The first experiment
evolved out of research by co-author Rajesh Rao, a UW professor
of computer science and engineering, on brain - computer interfaces that enable people to activate
devices with their minds.
Speaking to our
devices was once a sci - fi dream
of Star Trek and the Jetsons, but has rapidly
evolved into a daily activity for many with smart speakers, phones and more, so why let your computer miss
out on all the productive fun?
