World’s first Human Brain-to-Brain Interface prepared

TECH POP-UPS

Friends I believe you must have watched or heard about fiction movies. To be very honest whenever I watch this sort of movie, it’s over my head just like an air craft. I don’t understand what technology they are introducing in science fiction movies. If you see the history of an invention, first human thought the idea, then write its theory, theory phase can be long for some years or decades depending on the theory. In the last practical is performed.  Friends it means there are three phases of invention, first idea, second theory, third practical. In this era technology breakthroughs are at full swing. Every research group is striving to catch up innovations. Recently in University of Washington a group of researchers experimented human brain-to-brain communication experiment with the help of some equipment.
Brain-to-brain communication or interface means I will imagine an action, other person will do it. Friends why you put your hand on your head? Oh I see, my post is over your head. Ok let me tell you the entire information about this technology.

In August, 2013 Rajesh Rao, a University of Washington professor of computer science and engineering and his partner Andrea Stocco, a University of Washington research assistant professor in psychology at the University of Washington’s Institute for learning and Brain science and other team members worked on Human brain-to-brain interface technology and demonstrated it in the UW. Results were positive. Rao was sitting in the lab and Stocco was sitting in a campus away from Rao without a screen in front of him.

Rao was wearing a helmet type cap with electrodes connected to Electroencephalography also called EEG machine. “This machine reads electron activity in the brain and also used in hospitals for different types of tests”. On the other side Stocco was wearing a cap like swimmer wears and it was directly placed over his left motor cortex, this part of our brain controls the hand movement where Stocco placed the cap over his head.

Stocco’s cap was marked with stimulation Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation coil also called MTS. Friends this device make the brain to send desired command for an action in the body parts. It is very useful device. Other team members were connected on skype to observe the experiment.

Rao was looking at computer screen where a computer game was in front of him and he imagined that he moved his hand to press space bar button to fire in the game. His imagination was recorded by EEG and sent to MTS. In result Stocco’s index finger press the space bar button to fire and Rao saw a fire happened on his screen.
So friends did you notice Rao sent imagination command to do something for Stocco and in result action happened?

In coming years I suppose this technology will be strong enough to use for different types of tasks.

Thank you very much friends.
