Providing a Sense of Touch through a Brain-Machine Interface

  • A DARPA-funded research team has demonstrated for the first time in a human a technology that allows an individual to experience the sensation of touch directly in the brain through a neural interface system connected to a robotic arm. By enabling two-way communication between brain and machine-outgoing signals for movement and inbound signals for sensation-the technology could ultimately support new ways for people to engage with each other and with the world.
    The work was supported by DARPA’s Revolutionizing Prosthetics program, and performed by the University of Pittsburgh and the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

    Real human brain! Amazing!
    That's amazing. I hope that they scale it down so that people can use that technology unencumbered and in a way that doesn't put the user at risk of infections and physical damage (to the bone). I welcome a world where the physically, permanently handicapped can give hugs and feed themselves with robot arms or walk/run with robot legs where otherwise they'd just live only in their mind. I'm so glad someone's working on this. It's truly wonderful, good work they're doing.

    Could this be extended to transfer touch, hearing, and vision completely to a properly equipped robotic platform? My hypothesis is that if that can be done, then it may be possible to essentially transfer consciousness temporarily into a robot - although the brain hasn't left the body, it produces output as though it has, because the only input it is getting is external.

    I feel like this really opens up the future for human development. I can see a slightly more advanced version of this interface being used for an on board computer that acts like a secondary subconscious. It'll really take that "You won't always have a calculator on you." thing teachers always said to the next level.

    Pretty cool. Nothing like getting real tactile feedback from prosthetics to increase their efficiency to something which actually resembles a limb. Now if only you didn't need a valve sticking out of your head. I wonder if it's possible to generate current at any point in a 3D grid? That would be really useful, some type of field interaction I imagine. So that eventually people can wear a hat and deal with the psychological impact of removing that hat or always keeping it on.

    How come I only discovered this now? Most current brain computer interfaces being developed seem focused on sending the data from the brain to the computer, while that is important I feel like sending stuff from a computer to the brain is just as important if not more and somehow this is the only case I’ve seen that actually does that. This is huge not just for people with disabilities but for normal people as well.

    The new age of transhumanism is coming and it will save us and grant us immortality. Technology is our only hope to survive.

    • @politicalopinion6908
      @politicalopinion6908 7 років тому

      I disagree.I think for those that need this tech as such seen on film yes. This word transhumanism and the use of the word immortality.Me and you will never afford it.So It seem to me only really rich will be able to afford.This being the case with this tech costly as they will make. Ask yourself if you where that rich and it was costing you payments to keep yourself alive. Think when we use a credit card and banking system we pay someone else to hold our money.The only plus side is we have prove that when we want something we really couldn't afford just using cash we can buy things on credit.We pay big cash down payment but first couple small notes not paid we lose it all.That being said the rich become middle class.In this i mean only the the company and it self will be the mega rich.There doctors mostly in a short sense become con men working with the company to say this needs a repair you got to have it are they try selling a upgrade. This is what we now think of as rich people will become like us. Where does this leave me and you if we want to live in this immortality life? Only choice become a employee willing to understand that another man are woman are possible corporation will in long run of it control you all way..The day your boss are corporation needs to make cut backs are boss funds get low hey like normal what a leave pay of 25 years they give you to help you till you find another job . Do you understand where i am going we become slaves at some point.In life we get nothing free especially immortality.It will just take a lot longer for the first wave of the rich that first sign up to this plan to realize they been used.Like think any famous person say Michael Jackson all over the world he said his alum was number one but not in the US Point is In the world of forever at some point his alum wouldn't be are him even cared to be thought of by anyone.With his money he still might have enough to live a while but at some point he would ended up like a homeless man severing as a slave no way around they make the deal they make the rules Once we find no possible way to find income we die are they refuse to let us die and we just super slaves forever and no telling how bad it could be just see all the stuff now going on in the world yea i understand this a lot of people would have to die for this to work cause only the ones blinded by their wealth ego and things even super smart they have this thought i wright to you then belive i am smart i will know what to do But really where human bottom you really want to work forever to make this deal see the same people forever fly in space are go to mars forever put your self in harms way of exploring new worlds no use the slaves for the harm full stuff no one wants to not dream no one wants to not have hope there to much error

Instead of rewarding & idolising researchers in the STEM fields, people would rather be inspired by useless celebrity whores who post on Instagram. They think if they get breast implants too then they can become rich & famous as well. Our current society rewards talentless stupid people.

    If this is real they should be able to use a robot body of any style they want to hook up a real human brain in.Does it not seem so all they need is to program sight and hearing should not be to hard to make leg and body control as they did arms and the brain should not be to hard to keep alive. They can create some kinda blood unit that sends blood to brain.If used on a test tube baby it would never no life no other way. the brain would only need to be keep alive.It would also seem simple for them to do just small amount of tech i see they do.Hell they could pass it of as the worlds first real aware robot and we buy the child size then adult size when birthdays pass it would never know.Only think normal this is life.They control every thing are should i say they hide are steal his life before he every knew he had one. Well you get where i am going.This stuff is wild this might be what is really going with all the clone talk on the web i see.I think the rich would go for it and pay what ever they could afford.They would use a remote version of them self at first and be hooked at home like a sim be real when they choose are fake. when older would sign into a fixed contract where only the robot body is kept their brain removed being bottled and cared for in high tech oil are what ever. This is the road of living longer many years for real.But only the rich could do it.Poor can be phased out and only these kinda people and the slaves exist one day.This could be going on now to us and we never know.This got me thinking to far out left field. I have faith with Jesus.This does not mean this want are already exist. Do what they will nothing can stop it from coming.Just People at some point will see when to late and nothing can be done and we transform all ended as slaves but just will take the rich ones longer to start see the process failing no more tech to keep life and see death coming and realize the ones this great power came from never die and they and us have all been toys. Wild thoughts rushing in my head .never have i made a post this long.
