Creation of a new system to control the wheelchair across the tongue


Managed a group of scientists at the University (Georgia Tech) in the United States in the innovation of a new system enables people with cerebral control Bkarasehm moving through the technique a hole in the tongue (piercing), and this innovation is better than the previous technical spin-and-puff , which was dependent on the movements of inhalation and exhalation .

This new system depends on the technique (piercing) tongue in addition to the device is placed on the head and when the user moves his tongue in any direction will generate a magnetic field . According to the direction that it was moving the tongue wheelchair will follow this movement.
This information will be transferred via a wireless connection, then pass through a smart phone before finally passing to a wheelchair , which will be carried out orders.
Has been experimenting with this new technology on a number of non- disabled people in addition to the 11 patients with quadriplegic has achieved impressive results , this technique has been for them Butlat times faster than previous technology spin-and-puff , which was based on the movements of inhalation and exhalation as mentioned previously , and the devices used were easy to handle.

It remains to point out that this new technology is currently available to the public because they are still subject to further testing on the horizon in the near future dissemination and marketing.
