Dr.
Farwell and
Emanuel Donchin invented the
first EEG-based
brain-computer interface
(BCI). This system uses
brainwaves -- electrical
brain activity measured
non-invasively from the scalp -- to
allow an individual to
communicate directly from the brain
to a computer and speech
synthesizer.
Brainwave-Based
Invention for
Early Detection of Alzheimer's
Dr.
Farwell invented and patented a method
for using brainwaves in the early
detection of Alzheimers disease and
other cognitively degenerative
conditions, and as a method for
objectively and scientifically
evaluating the effectiveness of
treatments for Alzheimer's and traumatic
brain injury.
