About the solution
Shiva started thinking about creating this device in 2012, after he heard that a family member had lost both forearms.
“I decided to take matters into my own hands and design a prosthetic,” the inventor said.
This student’s innovation consists of a headset and an artificial arm that can be moved around by signals from a person’s brain that are transmitted over a wireless Bluetooth device. The arm only waves from side to side, while its fingers flex in and out. Nathan cannot control it very precisely.
The headset, which can detect brain waves and transmit the signals to a computer or smartphone via Bluetooth, was designed to work with meditation software. By viewing his own brain waves on a personal computer display, a user can teach himself how to relax.
Nathan already won an award at Mobile World Congress, in Barcelona, and is now working on upgrading his invention so it can be controlled with the eyes.
