Though it may sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, researchers at the University of Washington have successfully sent brain signals between two humans using noninvasive technology and the Internet.
University of Washington researchers Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco tested a "human-to-human brain interface" that uses the Internet to bridge brain signals.
In the experiment, Rao and Stocco were situated on different sides of the university's campus. Using what the university described as "electrical brain recordings and a form of magnetic stimulation," Rao's thought was recorded via an EEG machine and the brain signal was sent over the Internet to Stocco. The transmission caused Stocco, who was wearing "a magnetic stimulation coil" over a specific part of his brain, to involuntarily move his right index finger on a keyboard. As explained in the video above, the movement was like the feeling of a nervous tic. Read more...
