Some stroke patients or battlefield brain injured soldiers in medical treatment is difficult for speech communication with doctors, in order to understand the mind of such patients, resulting in a more targeted way, United States scientists are trying to use EEG reading their mind.
According to the United States media 17 reported that, in accordance with the University of California at Irvine, a study group of the design, some of the brain is damaged, hard-to-oral expression of patients wearing a specially crafted hats, hat of electrode contacts human scalp EEG activity and monitoring, the monitoring information is transmitted to a computer for scientists interpret. Patients were initially requested from the scientists listed some Word by selecting one of the heart — meditation, scientists are using EEG synchronization analysis ex brain activity, "read" the word they want to. After the success of such an interpretation, the scientists intend to allow patients to expand on the scope, but to achieve understanding of complex thought content may take several years. Participation in this research scientist John Parker said, current research is still in its initial stage, they hope that this work contributes to the development of "mind cognitive" software, the brain injuries, hard-to-oral expression of patients don't speak can exchange thoughts with others. But since the study's $ 4 million funding comes from the United States military, inevitably let some people fear that this could have the benefit of mankind's technology will be abused to interrogate the enemy.
