Japan develops brain remote control technology to do things with heart

the demonstrators are counting in their minds and pushing the toy train forwardAnother researcher used computers to observe changes in blood flow to his brainHitachi corporation in Japan has developed brain-controlled electronic device technology that can push a toy train forward by doing a mind-set or humming a song in its heartHitachi is keen to expand the commercial use of the technology, and the next step is to develop a human brain TV remote control, believing that in the future, without moving a finger, it will be possible to switch on and off the TV and turnover, Hong Kong's Wen Report reportedheart-counting humming stimulates the cerebral cortex
Hitachi's "brain-machine interface", based on optical mapping technology, by sending trace amounts of infrared to penetrate the cerebral cortex, observe the subtle changes in the blood flow of the brain, and turn it into electronic messages for interpretationSpecial head sets are connected by fiber optics to image-making devices, the latter by computer-driven toy train's moths, so as to achieve the effect of "car with the heart"Hitachi Advanced Research Laboratory recently publicly demonstrated the invention, MrYumu told the guests to take a deep breath and relax, and then began a round of mind calculation, then see the toy train rolling forward, once the heart count, it will stopYumu said, in addition to the heart calculation, humming can also stimulate the prefrontal cortex, to achieve the same effectThe message reception capacity to be improved
Hitachi's technology has a major advantage, that it does not have to implant sensors in the brain, which is naturally better than the technology that had to be implanted with chips in the pastBut the technology also has a number of problems to solve: first, although Hitachi's head gear andinstruments weigh only 1kg (about 2.2lbs), they are still large, and instruments have to improve their reception to reduce the impact of other irrelevant brain activity Traditionally, the "brain interface" has been used primarily in medicine, but in recent years many companies have rushed to put the technology for commercial use, with Hitachi and Honda are among the best Hitachi developed a device in 2005 to monitor the brain activity of paralysed patients and help them respond to simple questions, such as expressing "yes" through heart calculations, and not wanting to express "no" in any way As for the interfaces developed by Honda, they monitor and analyze brain activity using magnetic resonance imaging technology, which they hope will gradually apply to a new generation of smart cars
