Re: 60 minutes mind control
I watched the whole thing on television. They have got a lady that has the electrode sensors implanted into her head and a plug in the top of her head and she is controlling a wheel chair with it, and the mouse on the screen of a computer. Looked very matrix like accept in the matrix the plug was at the back of the head.
The guy doing the report tried out the brain cap that lets you pick letters and he nailed it on the first try. He spelled out the word thought.
Then they had a monkey that had a bunch of the sensors implanted into his head. They then recorded the brain wave patterns that this monkey made when he would reach out to get a piece of food. The monkey had on one of those motion tech gloves and sleves so that the computer could meld the brain waves to the motion of the hand and arm. Within one week they had the monkey completely controlling a robotic arm that would reach out and grab food just like the monkey would with his own arm. It was f-cking nutty s--t.
Then last night I was watching the Science Channel Popular Mechanics Show. They had a guy on there that has successfully made the first computerized bionic leg replacements that are stronger and almost as effecient as human legs. He had the ability to program the level of strength that they made through an app on his cell phone. He was a double amputee and was wearing the prototypes.
They asked him what the next level was and he said that he was working on making them work with a brain interface like the monkey and the robot. Guess what folks, we are only a few years out from full on Robocop.
