Biometric Integration: Your Body as the Interface.

 

Emerging technologies are beginning to use the rider's own physiology as an interface for controlling cycling technology.

Systems that monitor brain activity through non-invasive electroencephalography (EEG) can detect intention and translate it into actions, such as changing display screens on a cycling computer or adjusting electronic shifting behavior. Other systems use subtle muscle movements or gestures as control inputs, reducing the need for physical buttons or touchscreens.
