Controlling animals by thought

Researchers at Harvard University (USA) invented a system that conveys thoughts from people to animals without harming animals.

This system is called the Brain to brain interface (BBI) , which allows users to give a certain thought to control the tail of a lab rat. This is one of the important breakthroughs in the study of the ability of telepathy between people and people , a remote communication concept that people know but the research is limited.

Over the years, the technology of communication between the brain and the computer has grown. Computers were able to 'understand' brain waves transmitted from users through a series of sensors mounted on their heads. In contrast, the transmission of brain waves from computers to the brain is very rare. The reason is that for computers to be able to analyze a person's brain waves is a difficult task, it is more difficult to transfer thoughts from the computer to the human brain.

In particular, scientists have not been able to decipher how thought streams are 'encoded' by nerve cells. Now scientists can only communicate with the brain via computers by stimulating brain regions known to be involved in controlling certain muscle parts such as fingers but cannot move these muscles in a way. exactly as desired.

By the technique mentioned above, scientists at Harvard University have created a system that includes a device that measures electromagnetic waves from the brain, a computer that receives and commands a brain-stimulating device by ultrasound. This method is relatively new and does not cause much impact on the subject. The subject of the experiment will be shown some pictures on the computer screen. The flow of thought from viewing this image will generate brain waves, recorded by the computer and re-emitted to the ultrasonic stimulator mounted on the mouse. As a result, brain waves from humans can make mouse tail move, success rate up to 94%, with only 1.5 seconds late. In theory, humans can control the mouse tail if given the right thought without looking at the image on the computer.

Scientists will also experiment with many different brain stimulation, including complex thoughts such as hunger, from people to animals. Of course the ultimate goal of this experiment is to study the ability to transmit thoughts between people and telepathic people.
