About OpenViBE

OpenViBE is a software platform dedicated to designing, testing and using brain-computer interfaces.

OpenViBE is a software for real-time neurosciences (that is, for real-time processing of brain signals). It can be used to acquire, filter, process, classify and visualize brain signals in real time.

Applications

The main OpenViBE application fields are medical (assistance to disabled people, real-time biofeedback, neurofeedback, real-time diagnosis), multimedia (virtual reality, video games), robotics and all other application fields related to brain-computer interfaces and real-time neurosciences.

OpenViBE users can either be programmers or people not familiar with programming. This includes medical doctors, video game developers, researchers in signal-processing or robotics, etc.

Wolframalpha bot to threaten Google

@ Uberface, we're big fans of semantics-based artificial intelligence. Here is Wolframalpha, a venture of Stephen Wolfram (picture), the founder of Wolfram Research, makers of Mathematica, the famous fully integrated technical computing software.

According to his own talk, Wolframalpha would answer your questions online :

Wolframalpha.com will offer answers to questions, online - answers that do not necessarily already exist somewhere on the web.

Via one simple input field, users will have access to “a huge system, with trillions of pieces of curated data and millions of lines of algorithms.”

Launch is promised in May.
