Honda Develops Brain Interface For Robot Control
narramissic writes "Honda has released a video of experiments showing a person wearing a large hemispheric scanner on his head and controlling Honda's Asimo robot by visualizing movement. Back in 2006, Honda and ATR researchers managed to get a robotic hand to move by analyzing brain activity using a large MRI scanner. This latest work uses EEG to measure the electrical activity in a person's brain and blood flow within the brain using near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) to produce data that is then interpreted into control information. While both the EEG and NIRS techniques are established, the analyzing process for the data is new. Honda said the system uses statistical processing of the complex information to distinguish brain activities with high precision without any physical motion."
what happens when the guy thinks of women on the beach?
welcome our new bucket wearing overlords! All hail Lord Bucket!
I do not support "The Man". I also do not support your irrational stupidity
Please, don't show us a video of how this is done, nobody wants to see where you insert the CAT5 cable.
Are YOU using the TOOL, or is the TOOL using YOU? Think about it!
Why on earth would these gal-danged scientists create a brain interface for robot control?! The fools have already ensured that the robots will take over our society and force us into slavery. Do they have to make it so easy for them that the robots can just control us directly via our brains?! Are they trying to destroy mankind? These scientists have gone mad!
What's that? Oh... never mind.
The enemies of Democracy are
Clearly, this is why the zombies want our brains. They must have already built the robots.
I wouldn't be impressed if I were you, either. Obviously you are one of the great minds in human-computer interface work and have a list of accomplishments that dwarfs this minor stepping stone of an achievement.
I pshaw in the general direction of Japan along with you, brother.
Now I have to learn to think in Japanese as well as Russian.
Yes, it does.
Sounds messy...
