Samsung decided to try toimprove the lives of people with disabilities physical, like quadriplegics. She wants, in fact, to create a software that allows control TVs with brainwaves. The Swiss branch of Samsung had announced three months ago to launch a partnership with the neuroprosthesis center of the Federal School of Polytechnic of Lausanne for this project. At its conference November 7 in San-Fransisco, she presented her Samsung Galaxy Infinity, but she also took the opportunity to show a demo of a second prototype of this project.

At first, the device collect data in order to know how an individual's brain waves function when he wants to choose a movie for example. Subsequently, they combine environmental indicators and brain information for build a model. It works with 64 sensors placed on a helmet as well as a tracker. They are both smart health connected to a computer that allows you to control the TV. The user can choose a show using the movement of your eyes and brainwaves. By dint of use, the system will create a profile of the choices of the individual to facilitate the list of contents.

Some people with disabilities are not able to control their eyes. Samsung wants to remedy this problem. She would like to customize his device by only making it work with brainwaves for example. The giant wants to Review the device in Swiss hospitals in early 2019. It is, however, too early to say when it will be functional.

Samsung is not not the only one who wants to use brainwaves to control devices. Elon Musk launched in March 2017, Neuralink. This company wants to introduce small electrodes into the brain of users to transmit their thoughts to a computer. Many other neurologists around the world are interested in this new technology in thehope to replace a day the touch and voice assistants.
