U.S. scientists succeeded in controlling the movement of people from a distance

Some U.S. scientists on Tuesday said they were for the first time succeeded in uniting two minds , a researcher with the brain sending signals through the internet to control the movement of the hand other researchers in different places in the campus of the University of Washington .
The main objective of the study is to help paralyzed patients gain the strength to move his limbs . But on the other hand , according to Reuters , some critics worried about the use of other, more controversial .
Earlier in February, a different team of scientists led by Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University Medical Center uses electronic sensors to capture the mind of a rat in Brazil and the sensor sends to the other mice in the United States . The second rat was first successfully emulate mouse movement .
In addition , the electronic activity in the monkey brain at Duke , North Carolina , recently sent over the Internet to control the robotic arm movement in Japan .
Achievements raises concerns about the emergence of animal battalion - or even human - whose brain is controlled by others from a distance . Several Duke University study received funding from the Pentagon agency called the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency .
Study revealed on Tuesday by the Washington University researchers funded by the U.S. Army Reasearch Office and several state agencies other non - military .
In the study , University of Washington professor Rajesh Rao sitting in front of a computer screen and play a simple video game in his brain . In a moment , he imagined moving his right hand to fire the cannon .
EEG electrodes pick up signals and then " shoot the cannon ! " of Rajesh Rao and transmits it to other parts of the campus of the University of Washigton .
In another part of it , sitting Andrea Stocco . When receiving a signal " shoot the cannon ! " , Stocco inadvertently moved his right hand to press the space bar on the keyboard keys ( function keys cannons in a video game ) .
"It is very exciting and scary when I discovered that I imagined actions in the brain can be translated into real action by others , " said Rao .
Rao has said that the unification of the mind can only be read brain signals is simple , not complex thoughts . The unification also can not be used without the knowledge of the person receiving the signal . But he believes the research could be developed in such a way that an off-duty pilot who can land a plane that lost the driver .
Rao 's research to date has not been published in a scientific journal , it was recognized by the University of Washington spokesman Doree Armstrong as something " unusual " . However , he said that the video experiment Rajesh Rao and Andrea Stocco " has been able to prove the research achievement by itself . "
