For the first time, scientists can connect the human brain to the internet

This is the new breakthrough of the technology world.

A group of scientists from Wits University in South Africa has successfully connected the human brain to the global internet network. This is a major breakthrough in the field of biomedical engineering in particular and the technology world in general, opening the door for many future applications.

According to a report on Medical Express, this research project is called 'Brainternet' (a combination of Brain and Internet) . According to the description, this technology will turn your brain into an Internet of Things node in the World Wide Web world.

This technology works by collecting brainwave signals with an Emotiv EEG device . These signals are then transferred to a Raspberry Pi computer for processing and converting into digital data. They will be shared directly on an open website that everyone can use.

The head of the project, Adam Pantanowitz said: 'Brainternet opens a new limit in connecting the brain to the computer. We still have quite a bit of data on how the brain processes information. Brainternet is a simple way to help us better understand the brain, as well as help computer systems better understand how the brain works. '

He also said that this is only the beginning of future ambitions. His team is aiming to help the brain and computer system interact with each other, based on Brainternet analysis .

Based on these data, the secrets of the human brain may soon be discovered. This method also creates a springboard to develop many other technologies in the future, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. We will be able to create computer systems that accurately simulate how the human brain works.

Moreover, Mr. Pantanowitz said that we can take advantage of this knowledge and find a way to use computers, the internet interacts with the brain and enhances the power of the brain. It was a pretty similar idea to The Matrix, but it could completely come true.
