Sending a message using electronic telepathy

05.09.2014

The technology of "reading" brain waves has reached a new stage of development. A scientist from India conveyed a message to his colleague in France through the "power of thought". This case was the first time that people managed to exchange information virtually directly from brain to brain.

Using electroencephalogram (EEG) technology, scientists compared thoughts with electrical impulses in the brain. If earlier the information reproduced by a person sent signals to the gadget, then in the course of the latest study it was decided to connect another person to the data transfer process.

The experiment went like this: a volunteer from Thiruvananthapuram (India) sent a "mental message" in the form of a greeting to another subject in Strasbourg (France). There, the computer "translated" the greeting, after which, with the help of electrical stimulation, it communicated the received thoughts to the second subject, in whose brain the sensor was implanted. The message was recorded as a light flash in the viewing angle of the recipient's vision. A sequence of flashes of light allowed the addressee to decipher the received information. Later, a second experiment was carried out, where a similar message was transmitted from Spain to France.

It is also noted that errors were made during the second experiment, but their share was only 15%. Of these, 5% of errors were recorded at the coding stage, 10% at decryption.

According to scientists, this was the first time that people were able to transmit information virtually directly, from brain to brain. Also, the authors of the project argue that in the near future the human brain will be able to easily interact with computers.

The technology for "reading" brain waves was developed as part of a collaboration between Axilum Robotics, Starlab Barcelona, the University of Barcelona and Harvard Medical School.

This technology of brain waves is actively used in various fields, ranging from conventional computer simulators to the control of military equipment by the "power of thought".

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

world map of happiness 10.12.2006

The first world "map of happiness" was compiled. It was drawn by the English psychologist Adrian White on the basis of sociological surveys on the degree of satisfaction with life, conducted in more than a hundred countries of the world. He also used statistical information about the standard of living, the state of health care and education in different countries of the world.

It turned out that the most happy residents of Denmark, Switzerland and Austria, the least - African countries and countries - members of the CIS. Such studies are of limited value, since ideas about a happy life vary significantly among different peoples.

However, White hopes his map will catch the attention of governments that care little about their people.
