And in the lab, we invented a rock that you could move with your mind and steer around on the floor.
We called him Rocky.
And it worked.
Wild.
Yeah.
I mean, that never made it to market.
Like, you know, one-tenth of 1% of the stuff we do in R&D ever gets out.
Well, it was basically AI or really more machine learning looking at surface potentials, EEG-type potentials.
Not even evoked response, but just basically kind of consciously controlled EEG.
And so you put this thing on, which kind of looks like the old Superman brainiac thing, you know, with a little sensor pods, two frontal, two mastoid.
And then I think there were two over the parietal lobe.
So I think a total of six nodes.
And, you know, you go through the normal calibration and then
I guess it's kind of like biofeedback training.
Yes, exactly.
Where you look at the rock and then you will the rock to move forward.
And the machine learning interprets your signals.
And then over time, you could have it go forward and back, left and right.
Yeah.
And, you know, it was cool.
