Brain painting: Make a painting just by thinking!
Wouldn’t it be cool if you could just ‘think’ and create an artwork?
Nopes- it is not something out of the imagination of a movie director. Actually, an Australian firm ‘G-tec’, might have created a solution for this situation.
And it is not just ‘cool’- it is also very useful. Just think about patients of paralysis- who can’t move their hands or parts of body. What a beautiful difference this technology could make to their lives!
Paralysed patients can now create artworks just by using the power of their brains!
Paralysis is a condition when the patient suffering from it cannot control the movements of some body parts. Some paralysed patients cannot even move any part of their bodies. Horrible!
This scientific invention brings some hope for them, using which they can add some colour into their lives. Quite literally!
How does this work?
The user would wear a cap that measures brain activity. By focusing hard on a flashing icon on a screen, the cap can allow the user to “choose” what he or she wants the computer to do.

The artist can select various shapes and colours and straight lines using brainpower and build up a basic picture on the screen.
The idea came from an artist who had a friend paralysed in an accident, and who loved painting. The artist wanted to find a way to let the friend draw again.
The brain painting system costs $15,600, including the brainwave-reading cap, the computer software and the technology to understand the brain activity.
