All you have to do is wear what looks like a kid’s wrestling helmet studded with electrodes, as if you were going into a futuristic clinic to have those voices in your head diagnosed. Simple, right" ?The concept is to decode, in real time, brain activity. Not in terms of reading commands and so on; just brain activity while you are driving the vehicle,? Lucian Gheorghe, who directs the project at Nissan?s advanced research center in Japan, told C/D. ?To use this connected with autonomous driving functions in two ways: to enhance performance when you?re driving and to enhance the riding experience when riding [using autonomous-driving technology].”
