American scientists from the two universities, the University of Washington and the University of Carnegie Mellon, carried out a successful experiment with mind reading. The researchers were able to achieve a “broadcast” thoughts in the technology of transcranial magnetic stimulation.
The experiment involved three people who were going to play a computer game, but in such a way that one person could not see the screen. The brain of this player was connected to the TMS machine, which was connected by a special computer program with a brain of two other members of the network (their heads were held the EEG electrodes).
These two players to see the screen fully and could choose the right next move. Deciding what move you need to do, participants had to look some time on one of the two light bulbs flickering with different frequency. When people looked at the flashes of light, visual, coreu them intensified oscillations that Chinle sensitive electronics and transmitted to a third person, who had not seen the screen. Receiving these signals, he had to make that move, which he mentally recommended that the partners in the game.
Experts believe that their experiment shows: in the future may cause “brain of the Internet”, which will allow people to share thoughts directly. Additionally, technologies similar to those they used in their experience (encephalography and transcranial magnetic stimulation) give hope for the possibility of communication for paralyzed people. The scientists report the results of the experiment were published online by the library of Cornell University preprints ArXiv.org.
