HONDA CONNECTS BRAIN THOUGHTS WITH ROBOTICS


Opening a car trunk or controlling a home air conditioner could become just a wish away with Honda's new technology that connects thoughts inside a brain with robotics. Honda Motor Co. has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a person's scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movementsmoving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating. Honda succeeded in analyzing such thought patterns, and then relaying them as wireless commands for Asimo, its human-shaped robot.

  2. I hope you don't have to wear that on your head to get it to work! :) This might be a good concept if you have personal control. I wouldn't like the idea of someone being able to read my thoughts. ~Ginger

  3. I'm with Ginger! I don't think we should be able to read each others thoughts. That could really be bad! I am all for God being only one who knows my every thought. : )
