Codemotion as already said is the largest conference of its kind in Italy, each conference, accompanied by a practical demonstration of the topic has proved interesting and lively thanks to the presence of an audience of industry experts and enthusiasts interested in sharing ideas and experiences in the IT field. To give an example of one of the topics discussed, one of the conferences presented new methods for interfacing the brain with technological devices such as drones.
Alex Castillo, the speaker, also demonstrated with the help of the public how to use devices based on tracking the brain's electrical activity to interface the brain and the machine. The implications of these technologies are varied, in the medical field, for example, a patient suffering from paralysis could move objects or prostheses interfaced to his brain only thanks to his brain activity and despite being a technology still under development and not fully mature, makes definitely hope for solutions that can improve many aspects of our lives.
