This research seems very advanced at first, but I was doing EEG
biofeedback in a mental hospital in the 1970's and it was considered as a
rather routine procedure even then. You train the patient to recognize the
association between particular EEG patterns and states of consciousness
(eg relaxation). When the patient is successful it means that person is
actually controlling the machine as well as the brain waves. For example
the alpha waves associated with relaxation might turn on a light or
tone. Today the control over such brain waves is then used to control a
cursor. No difference except that what science is going for now is much
greater control over machines by thought control. It gets rather spooky if
you project it to its ultimate state of development.

> Brainchild of S.R.I. Researcher Lawrence Pinneo, a 46

> speed, the information they digest is fed to them by

> punched tapes. It is for this reasons that scientists

> Although Pinneo and others have experimented with
> computer systems that respond to voice commands, he
> decided that there might be a more direct method than
> speech. The key to his scheme: the
> electroencephalograph, a device used by medical
> researchers to pick up electrical currents from
> various parts of the brain. If he could learn to
> identify brain waves generated by specific thoughts or
> commands, Pinneo figured, he might be able to teach
> the same skill to a computer. The machine might even
> be able to react to those commands by, say, moving a
> dot across a TV screen.
>
> Pinneo could readily pick out specific commands. But,
> like fingerprints, the patterns varied sufficiently
> from one human test subject to another to fool the
> computer. Pinneo found a way to deal with this problem
> by storing a large variety of patterns in the
> computer's memory. When the computer had to deal with
> fresh pattern, it could search its memory for the
> brain waves most like it. So far the S.R.I. computer
> has been taught to recognize seven different
> commands-up, down, left, right, slow, fast and stop.
> Working with a total of 25 different people, it makes
> the right move 60% of the time.

> Pinneo is convinced that his barely passing grade can
> be vastly improved. He foresees the day when computers
> will be able to recognize the smallest units in the
> English language-the 40-odd basic sounds (or phonemes)
> out of which all words or verbalized thoughts can be
> constructed. Such skills could e put to many practical
> uses. The pilot of a high-speed plane or spacecraft,
> for instance, could simply order by thought alone some
> vital flight information for an all-purpose cockpit
> display. There would be no need to search for the
> right dials or switches on a crowded instrument
> pannel.

> Pinneo does not worry that mind-reading computers
> might be abused by Big Brotherly governments or overly
> zealous police trying to ferret out the innermost
> thoughts of the citizens. Rather than a menace, he
> says, they could be a high-civilizing influence. In
> the future, Pinneo speculates, technology may well be
> sufficently advanced to feed a computer directly back
> into the brain. People with problems, for example,
> might not don mind reading helmets ("thinking caps")
> that let the computer help them untangle everything
> from complex tax returns to matrimonial messes. Adds

That being said, CTRLgives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and
always suggests to readers; be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no
credence to Holocaust denial and nazi's need not apply.
