da www.dailymail.co.uk Scientists develop system that allows 'brain-to-brain communication' between two humans
A system developed by researchers at the University of Southampton allows two people to send a simple message over the internet using only their brains. So that "brain-to-brain communication" could replace keyboards and telephones. The technology is called ‘brain-computer interfacing’ (BCI) and uses electrodes attached to the head to monitor brain signals and convert them into commands. According to Dr Christopher James, from Southampton University, his experiments are the first ‘baby step’ towards technology that would allow people to send images and words directly into other people's minds and help people with severe debilitating muscle wasting diseases, or with the so-called “locked-in” syndrome. |
