Artificial Intelligence Used to Analyze Opinions Through Brain Activity

Chris Aimone co-founded Muse with an ethos to create technology that expands our perspective of ourselves and the world around us. An artist and inventor at heart, Chris' creative and design practice has spanned many fields, including architecture, augmented reality, computer vision, music and robotics. Looking to bring innovative new experiences to life, Chris has built installations for the Ontario Science Centre and contributed to major technology art projects featured around the world (including Burning Man). Can you share with us how your love of Robotics and Brain-Machine Interfaces (BMI) began? When I was very young, instead of playing with popular/trendy children's toys, I was interested in tools – so much so, that my favorite book was actually a catalogue of tools (at 18 months) and I wanted a sewing machine for Christmas when I was 3. I was interested in what tools could do – how they could extend my reach into the impossible, and my love for robotics and BMI was simply an extension of that. I was so curious about what lay just beyond the limits of my body's capabilities, just beyond the range of my senses.
