Have you ever imagined what it would be like to control objects with your mind? Well, now it’s possible, this amazing capability has been developed with the aid of Brain–computer interfaces, or as some like to call them, mind machines.
Practically, you can control objects as far as 100 kilometers away, and what’s even more amazing is that scientist have developed a new brain – muscle implant which allows paralyzed limbs to move. Sounds pretty incredible, right? Well let’s have a look and see these interesting inventions which may soon cure paralysis.

By now you’ve probably heard about about some really innovating pieces of technologies, which are revolutionizing the research field of paralyzed patients. Scientists have invented virtual keyboards controlled simply by thought, or wheelchairs which are controlled by the user’s brain, and even neuro-prosthetic limbs… but all of these, as amazing as they may e have a major downside: they are all tiresome for the brain and do not allow it to multitask.

Well, that downside is almost solved too! Professor José del R. Millán and his peers have come-up with a solution: they decided to engineer the controlling system in order to help it learn details about the person using it, hence going on some sort of automatic pilot and giving the user a chance to rest or do something else, while the thought controlled machine operates on its own.

Typical brain-computer interface sets only allow their user to give three commands: right, left or no command. The new technology allows amazing human-robot interactions with the aid of image sensors and image-processing systems which are able avoid obstacles by shared control between man and robot.
Professor José’s new amazing invention will allow more precise tasks, like staying on a target, or even letting the user reminisce without the machine considering it as a command. Have a look at the video below to see more about this amazing technology that will allow us to control things with our brain.
