Russian scientists have created quadrocopter controlled by brain waves. This flying gadget can be used including the military on the battlefield. For example, the purpose of exploring, when the busy shooting a soldier can not control quadrocopters hands or voice, but only the power of thought. What is it – a reality or still a popular science fiction? Disassemble the correspondent of “Vesti FM” Sergei Gololobov.
Forward, backward, up, down, left, right – on these six teams and construction work neyrokvadrokoptera. The operator wears on his head the EEG cap, starts flying machine, and then begins to mentally give those same teams. Quadrocopters will recognize them and moves on the right path, says the principle of flying gadget senior researcher of the company “Neyrobotik” Alexander Zonov:
“Our brain constantly generates some brain signals. This brain noise, electric, which constantly comes in our skull. Our goal is to make this noise like a process, organize and understand what it shows. Mathematicians make an algorithm that detects signals, classifies them, and then the signals we have already applied for some controlled device “.
One of the applications neyrokvadrokoptera – military. It can be personal protective equipment – such as body armor. A soldier needs to know what to expect ahead of him, on the positions of the enemy, and this starts quadrocopter reconnaissance. But as the military is busy fight, then other ways to manage your gadget, but to the power of thought can not be, says Alexander Zonov.
“Well, for example, a soldier hands may be busy to talk to him you can not. For example, he is pounding the enemy or run. When we run, we are difficult to operate your fingers, hands, eyes. But you can control is your biosignals “.
In the world somewhere around 200 companies are working on similar technology, even the fruit of their labor has poured in commercial samples. Thus, the Internet can buy some gadgets or computer games, which are controlled by the alleged brain impulses. But Alexander Zonov claims that all these toys work on a different principle. Our method is unique:
“Foreign counterparts do not track some subtle signals of the cerebral cortex, but they can track myogram. That is the man, roughly speaking, he grimaced in a way it had found one signal. We went the other way. We’re just trying to understand what is happening in the brain, not in the muscles. And we control directly from the brain “.
It should be noted that scientists neuroscientists very skeptical of attempts to control devices via brain impulses. The only access to the electrical signals of the brain – it’s all the same EEG. Anything else is not yet invented. But it is, by definition, can not read any thoughts, recalls Head of the Laboratory of Nervous System Research Institute of Human Morphology Sergei Savelyev:
“What is EEG? This is the only way proved himself effective in the case where it is necessary to monitor the epileptic focus or postoperative epileptic complications. Everything. No thoughts using electroencephalograph catch impossible “.
That is to EEG felt emanating from the brain signal it should be strong. As during an epileptic seizure. Or, again, some terrible memories, from which a man literally korezhit. It is clear that the idea of managing quadrocopters such stress can not cause, and the device does not detect it. Therefore, the experimenters have to go on cunning and think about something else, it is unpleasant, says Sergei Savelyev:
“The man does not think about that flew up and recalls that the wasp had bitten him. You know? To the excitement was unambiguous and strong. To this encephalograph poor could perceive the signal. And in order that he flew down to think about how he saw when it ran over a cat, for example, . But it is unlikely that he could have so much to be excited by the six teams to somehow mimic controlled flight “.
However, the developers neyrokvadrokoptera themselves admit that their project is at a very early stage of development. And, of course, the use of it in the fight too early. But something in any case, we must begin. Subject something promising. And if not us, then others will do. Besides, if you believe the pictures shown, controlled by the brain operator gadget actually moving to where it will indicate the human mind.
