Super soldier oriented and processing information by ... tongue

Instead of holding and looking at the table and portable audio equipment to guide, task divers can handle information through their own tongue, so the hands and eyes of the imager are completely unencumbered. busy

Military scientists are about to use the human tongue as a main tool in the image of a super soldier. This person will hold all the best possibilities of representing species in the animal world. According to Director General Ken Ford, Florida State Institute of People and Machine Awareness (FIHMC, USA) specializes in modern technology for people to make machines more user-friendly.

Researchers at the FIHMC Institute are working on a research project that allows special combatants to have a 360-degree view of the night at night, and for SEAL naval task forces to recognize sounds in their heads. - while still able to observe normally under water. So it can be said that if soldiers have the above abilities, science fiction will become a reality.

The device, called Brain Port, was first studied 30 years ago by the work of Dr. Paul Bach-y-Rita, a neuroscientist at the University of Wisconsin. Bach-y-Rita began observing images from a camera mounted on electrodes pasted on the participant's test. He later discovered that the tongue was a transcendent signal.

In a recent study, scientists used a red plastic band connecting the Brain Gate to the tongue, where 144 microelectrodes transmitted information through nerve fibers to the brain. According to Dr. Anil Raj, chief scientist of this project, instead of holding and looking at the table and portable audio equipment to guide, tasked divers can process information through the tongue of they themselves, so the hands and eyes of the imager are completely unencumbered.

During the experiment, the team demonstrated that the blind could find the door exit, know someone walking in front of them, and even catch the ball. The AP news agency said a version of the device, expected to be available soon, could help restore equilibrium to people with vestibular nervous system damage in the inner ear. injury due to misuse of antibiotics.

The Department of Defense's Advanced Research Projects Department funded this program. Michael Zinszer, a former SEAL naval commander and now Director of the Underwater Crime Investigation Field School (of the University of Florida), also took part in a test using a signaling tongue at a pool. He felt like it because the feeling on his tongue was like chewing Pop Rocks.

Investigators of the underwater crime scene in the near future can use this device to identify search patterns, signal each other and 'see' through their tongue, although it's hard to believe. - according to Zinszer's analogy. Anil Raj said that the ultimate goal for the military was that the naval frog's hands and eyes had to be free, to observe if anything emerged from the mud and acted in the blink of an eye. Sound is just the next step.

Raj and his team of research assistants spent many hours experimenting with the device in an indoor pool of the University of West Florida athletic complex. They plan to officially perform this system for naval and naval divers in May 2006. If possible, the new equipment system will be manufactured and ready for use within the next 6 months. Raj happily remarked: 'By my own head and tongue, every soldier has the ability to operate through the night without the need for infrared lenses'
