How does "mozgopochta" - the transfer of messages from the brain to the brain via the Internet



Will we one day connect the human brain to the Internet? Rose Elevet versed with the application for the first-line message sent from one mind to drugomu.Internet becoming faster, and you can connect more and more ustroystv.

Send e-mail to receive it, read and reply to the letter - all this is being done in a matter of seconds. Not long ago, we were waiting for ordinary letters days or even weeks, but today hour wait an e-mail seems vechnostyu.Vozmozhno, the best way to further accelerate the online chat is a direct link minds with the help of the Internet. If the user's brain will be connected directly, they will no longer need to type text. You can be just thinking about something, and then send your friend an idea, no matter where he is - in another room or in another polusharii.Nedavnee study was the first step in this napravlenii.

Giulio Ruffini, one of the researchers of the project and part-time CEO Starlab, in Barcelona, ​​explains how it works: The first test (in this case, a person in India, in Kerala) is equipped with a special interface "mozg- computer ", which can detect brain waves. This person should imagine that move his legs or arms. If he imagined that moves down, the computer recorded zero. If he imagined that moves his hands, the computer recorded the edinitsu.Zatem resulting sequence of ones and zeros are sent via the Internet to the recipient - the person who is in France, Strasburge.Etot man was connected to the device under the name «TMS-robot", the purpose of the device was delivery strong but short electrical pulses directly to the brain. When the sender thought about moving his hands, the robot stimulate the brain of the recipient so that he could see the light, even his eyes were closed. If the sender is thinking of moving feet, the recipient has not seen sveta.Chtoby add a meaningful message, the researchers used the codes: one sequence of zeros and ones (ie movements of arms and legs) means «Hola» (App. "Hi"), the other is " Ciao »(App." While "). The recipient, who was also known cipher could decode the sequence and determine which word has sent otpravitel.

Deep kontsentratsiyaVsё it seems simple, but at each stage there are difficulties. The sender has to be very focused and think only about the movement of the hands or feet. Any other brain activity leads to a blurring of the signal, and it will be difficult to get the message. That is, the sender of the message should have been trained to do everything pravilno.Krome of this whole process is rather slow. The researchers calculated that the transfer from the brain to the brain goes a rate of about two bits (zero and one) per minute. So even the simplest sending messages from the brain to the brain takes a bunch vremeni.No, according to Ruffini, when all this work, it was interesting.

«You can think of this experiment in two ways. On the one hand - this is a highly technical and quite modest evidence of a specific concept. On the other - it was done for the first time, so I suppose it was in some sense a historic moment, and it was very interesting ». Blockquote> Just the trick? There are several arguments about whether or not this experiment was the first . Last year, a team from Harvard connected the human brain to the rat's tail, and a man could make a tail twitch, just thinking about it. Even last year at the University of Washington have managed to create an interface that allows the sender to the recipient to control motor skills, forcing recipient unknowingly knock on klaviature.Sledstviem this was that one of the scientists called the work Ruffini "pretty nice trick," and said that everything it "has already been shown previously» .

Nevertheless, the experiment Ruffini is the first experiment in which the brains of the subjects were tied at such a great distance, and besides, it was the first case when the recipient interprets the signals soznatelno.No Ruffini dreaming of more. He wants to learn how to pass from the brain to the brain feelings, sensations and full of thought.

«Now the technology is limited, but one day they will become powerful. And once we overcome the verbal communication ». Blockquote> According to him, there is a huge plus. Receiving someone else's mentality directly into the brain can give a person the ability to put yourself in the shoes of someone else and feel the same as him. We can finally overcome the eternal solitude of man within his own skull. We can literally "understand" the others - and it will make the world a better place.

«I think that the majority of the world's problems due to the fact that we - different points of view, and we do not understand how other people perceive the world. If we are able to really feel all that other people feel, there will be no misunderstanding ». Blockquote>
