System for detecting brain activity

Brain activity identification system for controlling a computer-controlled application, comprising

• a plurality of electrodes, said electrodes being arranged on a supporting structure to be placed on a skull of a person, said electrodes for producing signals in accordance with the brainwaves of said person amplifying means for amplifying the electrical signals sensed by said electrodes,
• data processing means for processing said amplified signals, identifying a specific mental state associated to a command of said computer-controlled application from said signals and generating a control signal for said computer-controlled application, said control signal being indicative of said recognised mental state and
• transmitter means for transmitting said control signal corresponding to said identified mental state to said computer-controlled application.
