Scientists have managed to combine the two brains of people with a computer Bashny.Net

Telepathy has real - though not without a computer

You will hardly ever be able to read and control the thoughts of others, but one day with the help of a computer interface, you can control someone else's behavior and possibly even to communicate through thought. Technologies demonstrated in the video is the first step in this direction.

Two researchers from the University of Washington in St. Louis Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco using an interface that allowed Rao awhile control the actions of Stocco.

Previously, this technology was used in rats, and later was able to establish a link between the brain of rats and humans. The need to take any drugs or implanted brain implants not. To head Roa was connected electroencephalograph, which controls the electrical activity of the brain through the skull - in other words, a signal is sent to the computer, and then sends it to the Stocco, who wore a device for transcranial magnetic stimulation, sends a powerful, but harmless magnetic signal through the skull to the motor center in the brain. The interaction of fingers twitched Stocco.



This is just a small step, but at the same performance and excellent proof of concept: one person can use the computer to control the movements of the other, and this is not a fantasy but a reality. The next step should be two-way interaction. Technology, in the end, will work almost imperceptibly - to put on the head of the complex bulky device is completely unnecessary. So do not worry: protect yourself tin foil hat is optional. So far.
