Research into brain-computer interfaces is actually not new. This curiosity of mankind was even reflected in science fiction movies; as well as 30 years ago. This movie we’re talking about Matrix.

The most important part of the movie for our article is that human brain with computer interfaces connected and controlled by artificial intelligence. As chaos and war gain more people’s attention and are viewed more, we generally see disaster scenarios in movies. So, is there anything good about this situation?

Brain-computer interfaces can be activated by any kind of signal.

Computer-based systems that detect, analyze and send signals about actions intended to take place in the mind, brain-computer interface or the brain-machine interface.

These technologies, whose English equivalent is Brain-Computer Interface (BCI), are basically with various brain signals they can be used. These signals can be picked up by chip implants that are placed in the brain or electrodes that are attached to the scalp. After explaining what it is, let’s now look at how to use it.

There are many areas where it can be used.

Paralyzed patients through brain-computer interfaces immobile limbs Wouldn’t it be nice if they could check it? It is believed that this situation can be achieved with these interfaces. Although we are not yet at the desired stage, we can say that the researchers at MIT are very close to that.

As shown in the video, the robot outputs the signals that the hand senses, but does not fulfill them in the signals sent to the hand. But people with paralysis often failure of the signals to reach the damaged organ or there may be no or very little signal to the brain from there. Therefore, it is not yet fully used.

Another advantage of brain-computer interfaces is in the military field. Through these developed interfaces, soldiers who are far apart will be able to communicate quickly with each other thanks to the device in their brain. at critical moments faster and more accurate decisions it will become easier. They will also be able to use it to manage their emotions, especially fear. The other aspect will of course be being able to control and use military weapons miles away.

Regardless of all these, the natural result of the advancement of technology is this way get to know the brain better is happening. The complexity of the brain and the mystery of human intelligence become understandable. Finally, if two people connect their brains to a computer, can they read each other’s minds over the internet?

You remember the computer of the famous physicist Stephen Hawking, which we lost in 2017. There, Stephen had to write with eye movements before the computer could speak. Now we are one step further. Researchers at Columbia University were able to vocalize brain waves through the interface. So interfaces, by examining your brain waves, able to express your thoughts they are on the levels.

In another experiment, a species among humans brain-brain interface was created in which people were asked to interact and solve a task in real time. In this system, called BrainNet, the subjects were connected to computers, but physically miles apart. The experiment has been successfully completed. The subjects communicated with each other and played a Tetris-like game.

The results of the experiment are quite impressive, aren’t they? The brains of two people to share their thoughts and feelings with each other a communication channel forms. Since the experiment was conducted with only three people, it is important to be the first, although great results cannot be correlated.

All these studies show that it is indeed possible to read minds. However, because the use of this technology is so new, it is not yet complete how accurate and reliable it is There are many question marks.
