Brainy Communicator


The research project Brainy Communicator is the first of its kind in Singapore that would allow the user to control the computer via brain activity, without any use of hands, legs or voice. Together the Society of Physically Disabled (SPD) and the Institute of Infocomm Research (I²R) hope to find a solution for people with complete loss of limb movement using neuroscience methods and computer technology in order to access the computer.

Essentially, the Brainy Communicator acts as an interface which allows severely handicapped people the freedom to communicate with computers by reading a person's thoughts. The interface picks out what the user is thinking and types it out on the computer. There are no needles, injections or medication involved, hence it is non-invasive. Participants of the Brainy Communicator will be adults above 16 years with severe physical disabilities, mainly: those who suffer from Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and tetraplegia.
