60 minutes mind control

I am watching 60 minutes and they are showing how "new" technology lets them read someone's mind when they wear a cap with electrodes in it and now there is a computer chip they can put into the brain to read it. They call it "braingate".

Very interesting they are sharing this limited technology given what has been shared about thoughts being put into others minds as well reading one's thoughts from great distances.

Interesting segment to watch.

I just found this site: Braingate

Thats fantastic for the gentleman in the broadcast but it shows all the other possibilites that we all know about...............the micro chip

Not bad for a Quad... Controlled it pretty well tooo....

Just think of the possibilities, he could run that chair,
control a robot [to make meals for himself, feed himself]
which could do the work that his body used to.

It has its place; if used for good...

Did you catch where that was--- SRI maybe ?

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.
