San Jose, CA ---
NeuroSky, Inc., the leading innovator in cost-effective and “wearable”
bio-sensor and signal processing systems today announced that it will be
exhibiting its technology at The Game Developers Conference 2008, February
20-22, at Moscone Center in San Francisco, California.

Along with demonstrations of its most recent product introductions on
platforms as varied as PC’s, consoles and mobile devices, NeuroSky will be
introducing its advanced prototype, “Project Millennia,” a multi-biosensor
headset initially targeting the gaming and market research industries.
NeuroSky has teamed with technology partners Ascend Visual Systems, Inc.
(San Jose, CA), Eye-Com Corporation (Reno, NV) and Memsic, Inc. (Andover,
MA) to support the phase-one objectives of “Project Millennia:” the
integration of brainwave (EEG) translations, 2-D accelerometer motion,
eye-tracking and 3-D surround sound into a single headset. The technology
will be utilized to control various aspects of an avatar’s movement and
demeanor.
“NeuroSky’s breakthrough technology is creating a new dimension in human
and machine interaction,” said Ascend CEO Chern Lee. “Built with Essential
Stereo™ technology, we are excited to incorporate the surround sound audio
module with NeuroSky’s headset to create very natural sound effects while
also offering comfort and reducing ear fatigue for gamers."
“Eye-Com Corporation envisions that the jointly developed Project
Millennia by Eye-Com and NeuroSky will greatly change the way end-users
interact with the simulated and real worlds. The integration of optical and
neural sensory data has the opportunity to open doors that we have never
considered,” said Eye-Com™ CEO Dr. William Torch. “Think about how
interactive games will change by giving the end user another tool to play
the game – with and without manual dexterity! Think about how the games
themselves will change 2008 and the future!”
“Memsic is excited to be working with NeuroSky to incorporate our
proprietary accelerometer technology into their next generation gaming
headset,” says Dr. Yang Zhao, CEO of Memsic, Inc. “Moving forward I believe
that there are many additional areas our companies can collaborate to create
other groundbreaking applications and products.”
NeuroSky management will be available for both one-on-one meetings and
private showings of the latest product releases in booth #6402. To schedule
an appointment with a NeuroSky representative or to learn more about the
NeuroSky product family, please contact Greg Hyver, VP of Marketing for
NeuroSky Inc., via email at ghyver@neurosky.com.
