James CameronIf you have seen the Avatar movies directed by avatar You remember when they could remotely control the bodies they called themselves.

Today many signals in our brain can be easily measured. So, is it really possible for us to one day control different bodies or machines through some kind of technology?

Avatar, Matrix, Inception, Neuromancer, Lucy… These films, which are among the most important works of science fiction in the world, had one thing in common: being able to control bodies and machines in other places or dimensions with the power of the mind.

People in Avatar movies Pandora He wants to colonize the said planet, but the natural conditions of the planet are not suitable for humans to live. Native people of Pandora, because they cannot exist here in human form. Na’viThey develop a technology that allows people to control their body shape.

in new bodies they call avatars. they can connect with the power of the mind and control their movements. So a spinal cord injury who is actually a war veteran Jake SullyHe can move as he pleases in his Na’vi form.

People can control their avatars with their thoughts, thanks to an interface that connects the brain to the computer.

This system in the movie BCI, also called “Brain Computer Interface System”. It’s called, and it’s not a fictional term. That’s exactly what it’s called in real life. Although the technology that connects the signals in our brains to the machines has not yet reached the dimensions in the movie, it has actually been in our lives for a very long time.

Even if you remember Elon Musk neural link He founded a company called Here, studies are continuing into a technology that will provide just that. It may very soon be possible to create devices such as smartphones and computers such as smartphones and computers that we can only control with our brain signals, not by touch or keystrokes, via chips inserted into our brains.

Avatar bodies may not be dreams. We are already well advanced in establishing a connection between machines and the human body.

I just think you’re moving your arm today a robotic arm The technique with which you can move has already been developed. Some to the brain implants certain commands can be sent through the computer.

This systems It has been tested for many years and the tests are also successful. However, it is not yet widely available.

Thanks to Brain-Computer Interface Systems, you can move objects with your mind power and complete your Jedi training.

Star Wars Force TrainerIn , you can raise the ping pong ball in the tube by wearing a head that detects your brain signals. The more you concentrate, the better results you will get. joda, He congratulates his little Jedi, namely you.

Yet another important development in the same field: in 2016, a man with a paralyzed arm received a brain implant. chipping He could regain control of his fingers and to play chess he could play.

If we have reached this point, will it not be possible to control much more complex machines remotely with brain power?

Almost. If you want to move the right arm or the left arm your commands possible to distinguish signals. But this is much more than remote control of an entire body. simple to stay.

The brain is a very complex organ with parts responsible for thousands of different activities. Being able to classify and “think” everything that happens in our brain from the data It is extremely difficult to separate. The usefulness of current technology is also very limited.

Our brains do not come from one factory, no two are exactly the same. It may not be possible to produce standard systems that work the same way for everyone.

Each brain is unique and personal in life. experiences works differently from each other. The same thoughts may not coincide with the same parts of the brain. or the same concepts can find different responses in other brains. They can arrive at the same conclusions in different ways.

Therefore universal reads the same signals from everyone and converts them into the same commands. machines Developing is not that easy.

Will we be able to distinguish between a thought that comes to mind and the command of an action that we really want to do?

Sometimes within a minute thousands of irrelevant things pass. Some are thoughts we wouldn’t even want to hear, some are jokes we tell ourselves, or nonsense…

So all those machines that detect brain signals? chaos Can he really distinguish which ones we are seriously considering and which are just one of countless thoughts that just float around in our minds? There are many such questions and many more waiting for us to answer.

The real mind-boggling questions begin with interpreting this technology, not producing it.

Our brains are righteous data consisting of zeros and ones They are not working machines. What sets us apart from machines is the sum of thinking, feeling, reflecting on our existence and emotions. our consciousness. Nor is it just limited to brain functions and nerve activity.

Our unique thoughts, memories, feelings and our personality Because we have consciousness. Our extremely rich, complex and personal experiences mean an endless amount of data. What is it in a standard way for everyone something we cannot define transfer to machines may also be impossible.

After this stage, the ball may fall in the hands of social scientists and philosophers rather than science, experimentation, and technology companies.

Human consciousness itself is a subject that is still not fully understood. Therefore alone laboratories, electrodes and new technologies no thinkers, of philosophy also important. Our brains are living beings and do not work like computers.

Therefore, instead of physically producing this technology, our main caveat is AI ethical and philosophical concerns, as seen in the problems of Technology with rocket speed More philosophical and social scientists will need to get involved and contribute to these issues to evaluate any possibilities that may arise as we evolve.
