The Germans established a system of control of the aircraft by means of thoughts

Developers from different countries create a more interesting vehicle controls and aircraft. Recently in the network has a video demonstration of the flight control system, where the pilot does not use levers, buttons, toggle switches, and everything else.

Instead, the pilot's head put on a special "cap" that reads the activity of the human brain. The system is adapted so that a person's thoughts are converted into signals for the flight control system. As a result, the plane flies wherever he mentally ordered the pilot to fly.

most interesting - none of the seven people at a time to manage such a plane (of course, in the simulator, no one would have allowed a man to risk his life in a real flight) had no experience of control of the aircraft or in reality, nor in the simulator. And all the participants have successfully coped with the flight, no one crashed his plane and take off, followed by the flight and landing were successful.

The project, dubbed Brainflight, is a joint development of Munich and the Technical University of Berlin. Financing same predostavyal (and provides) the European Union.

Development itself is not created for the game, and for the subsequent creation of the flight control system using only mental commands, without having to remember all those hundreds of buttons, levers and toggle switches that are in the cockpit. On the actual flight it does not go, but then the robot cars were originally just an idea.
