      Ooh, good question. Is it ethical to remove a bad, organic limb to install a better, artificial limb? It'd likely be a case by case basis on how bad the nerve damage is, even on the performance level at this point.

    I'm curious how consistent this is with interference. Don't want somebody's phone to go off and then you fall down XD. Or what if someone else thinks at your arm - can they move it? It'd be like Snape and Quirrell fighting over Harry Potter.

    • @connorhaeck4987
      @connorhaeck4987 Рік тому +1

      I think the BCI will be wirelessly paired with the arm, to minimize this natural interference, though that still leaves security vulnerability from those who would maliciously seek to know your very thoughts.

      @@connorhaeck4987 Government(s) have been reading our thought waves for decades already - nothing new there. To me it seems like there's no way to isolate from interference with this method without developing a better language. I'd be more concerned with accidental interference than intentional, anyways. Thoughts seem unnecessary to use in general when the body uses nerve signals in the first place it seems a lot smarter to just wire it with the nerve signals and not incorporate thoughtwaves in the first place so it just becomes second nature instead of having to actively think about it. It also isolates having a third party think at your limbs, cause I stand by my original point that that's always going to be possible. Human brains can emulate frequencies of other brains so there's not going to be a unique snowflake pattern that's impossible to recreate like a fingerprints for thoughts or whatever. Like a voice impression you can just think like someone else and it'd be equivalent within a certain proximity from what I've gathered. It makes a lot more sense to just work directly with proprioceptors. As long as it's thought based, there's no true fight or flight response, either, since a reflex is pre-thought by definition.

      I've researched EEG implementations and BCIs. There isn't really a way to "think" at someone's limb, the device reads the signals of the brain utilizing electrodes and each signal is linked to a function in the device. The same signal utilized by the brain to move your arm would always be there, regardless of whether you have an arm or not. The prosthetic arm in the video uses this process to become a synthetic arm. It isn't like radio signals, but I suppose if you needed to, you could link a device to send radio signals corresponding with certain brain signals. Each person's brain is different and so is their usage of it, meaning each thought and brain signal is almost entirely unique, which is very likely the reason why the guy in the video decided to use machine learning to effectively discern which brain signal would activate the corresponding motor in the prosthetic. This region of engineering and robotics is rather new, though the usage of electroencephalograms dates back earlier than the 1930s. The technology to "read minds" or "thoughtwaves" isn't exactly a priority or a possibility, because outside of an individuals mind, those thoughts are simply electrical signals.
