A brain-computer interface (BCI) is a system that allows someone to purposefully control a computer or other device through their thoughts.

Archinoetics' functional brain imaging system, OTIS, provides a non-invasive, real-time method of monitoring the changes in the brain to support BCI's. Current applications are focused on assistive technologies to allow severely disabled people (such as those with ALS) to communicate and control their environments. Other research has demonstrated that someone can control a robot's limbs just by thinking about moving that body part.
