Its a long held ambition
of several scientists to achieve success in direct brain-to-brain
communications. Recently the ambition has moved one step closer at an
experiment held at University of Washington.
The experiment conducted
at University of Washington featuring two volunteers over internet
transmitting signals from one brain to another was a mere live
example of the power of human brain.
In the latest tests it was
shown clearly that the team was able to control the hand of the
subject remotely by making one subject thinking of moving the hand to
operate the game controller.
The researchers used a
combination of two different non-evasive devices and softwares
specifically designed for the task, to measure the transmitted brain
signals in real time.
One volunteer has an
electroencephalograph wired to its brains, to read the specific
activity and send the signals via internet to the second volunteer,
who is wired with transcranial magnetic stimulation to locate and
control the hand movements.
Through this experiment,
the researchers are very confident in bringing a new horizon in
brain-to-brain interface.
