Concepts such as remote viewing, transference of brain waves
over the internet and actually controlling another person’s movements through
technology have now become a reality. University of Washington scientists Rajesh Rao
and Andrea Stocco have developed a brain-to-brain communication method over the
internet. As one participant thinks of an action the other will move their
finger from some remote location.
Before the brain can send the signal it takes some time to
train it to send the right signals that the computer can capture. The sending
participant thinks about shooting at some object on the screen and the cursor
begins to move as the computer picks up on this signal. As the sender thinks
such information the receiver in a different location will take the information
from the internet and know to press the “shoot button”.
Previous studies have shown similar results between rats, a
human and a rat, and for the first time human to human. Since the beginning of
man the only way to transfer thoughts was through language or actions. Now
humans are able to directly control the actions of another person over the
Internet. Both participants have to be willing and trained participants.
There are some advantages for learning in the future.
Complex concepts transferred through words often take high levels of energy and
time to master. Yet with the use of new technology it may be possible to show
people how to complete certain functions remotely and in ways that help them
learn quickly. If this technology gives you a bit of a shiver you might not be
the only one. At least for now no one can tell you how to act over the Internet.
