When we were small kids we used to study that the brain is controller of our body. But now the technology has gone beyond that. Now not only we can control our body with the brain we can also use our brain to control some of the machines. Recent advances in cognitive neuroscience and neuroimaging technologies llow the direct interface (BCI) of machines with the human brain.
This ability is made possible through brain-computer interface and special sensors that can monitor physical processes that occur within the human brain.
In this, user manipulates his thoughts and brain activities in order to produce brain waves which are used for the functioning of the machine.
Some Brain Controlled
Machines
1.
Brain
Controlled Robotic Hand
It is a miracle for the handicapped persons
which are not having their hands or paralyzed body. With simple practice of
brain wave manipulation the device can be controlled easily by the brain. Many
of its models are being tested worldwide nowadays, one of the picture of a man
having a hi-tech multi finger prosthetic hand. He is able to lift a bottle
easily with the help of this prosthetic hand. A scalp EEG (Electroencephalogram)
cap (The white cap on head) was fitted to record the electric signals produced
by brain.
2.
Exoskeleton
controlled with Brain
Now
the days are not too far in which persons looking like iron man will be with us
wearing an exoskeleton which is controlled by mind. This exoskeleton helps to move
the person with his brain waves. This also can be used as a prosthetic leg or
an exoskeleton for the peoples with paralyzed legs. In this the system uses EEG
technology combined with lower limb exoskeleton to translate the brain waves to
motion of the machine.
3.
Brain Driver
So you must have heard about driver less car but here
is a car that can actually move the way your mind wants. I can also call it telekinesis
(Practice of moving things with the mental powers) which is assumed to be impossible.
To drive this car just put on your EEG and get ready to roll on the roads. This
is the future of driving.
Do you really think the touch screen and voice
recognition is the most advance technology to use your mobile devices today if
yes then you are wrong. The MUSE a light and portable device that fits on your
head and let your brain directly controls your mobile from the brain. But it is
little difficult to use device as it can even send the message to your boss
about his shaggy and bullshit attitude if you are thinking about that.
