Cars Can be Controlled by Thought

VIVAnews - Germany once again to make technological breakthroughs. This time coming from the automotive world. Not to be outdone by the aircraft which feature auto-pilot as automatic steering, a number of engineers from Freie Universität Berlin make a car that can be controlled only by the power of the mind. Could it be? Probably. This is not the first time Freie Universität Berlin presents a breakthrough in the field of automotive technology. Previously, a collection of smart engineers have created a car that can be driven with the eyeball. There was the impossible and difficult, but the idea is really developed. So even the idea of ​​driving with the power of the mind. You can imagine if your mind is in a state of instability or stress. So, if you're a driver who likes wandering mind, often fantasizing or daydreaming, this car is definitely not for you. The engineers adopted the new sensor technology that began to be marketed commercially: electroencephalograms (EEGs). With this technology, the scientists asked the driver to imagine a cube moving in the virtual world. The movement of the cube that is what then determines the direction the car moves to the left, right, acceleration, and brakes. This can be done by differentiating bioelektrik wave pattern. Sensor technology that has approximately the same interface with a conventional car. There is a steering wheel, brake, which essentially the entire instrument is computer-based equipment. The series is a computer system that allows a person to drive a car only with his mind. In the second trial, the engineers try this new technology with a larger number of cars. Thus, it is known whether an EEG sensor still works well or not, especially when determining the direction of the crossing. "As a result, drivers are equipped with EEG sensors are able to control the car without any problems. The issue that appears only a slight delay or pause between commands and responses of mind the car," said Professor Raul Rojas, head of the project Autonomos, cited VIVAnews from TG Daily, Tuesday 22 February 2011. However, a German engineer team recognizes that the technology made in Germany and has developed software not yet feasible BrainDriver marketed and will be enhanced.
