Technology for Life - Brain Waves
A look at the recent advances in our understanding of how the brain sends and receives signals.
We examine the technology behind some of these advances, looking at brain scanners and other devices that help people with brain injuries and disabilities.
We also explore the possibility that machines could help change their exterior environment at will. Could a person wearing a "brain cap" change the music they are listening to simply by changing their mood?

brain waves8 April 2008 - 19:47I thought the synopsis was a little misleading, at least the opening statement. I was hoping to see more of ''the sending and receiving signals''. It was there but it was primarily about the technology. I would also liked to have seen the imaging equipment at the start being used to show real brain patterns/activity, as it was it was just left me hanging. Will it hold my students attention, not sure.
