At the Hawkings 70th birthday celebration in January of this year, an attentive audience may find that this talented physicist suffering from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ("ALS") has added new equipment - A seemingly playful black headband with a light match-like miniature matchbox on the headband.
This is the iBrain developed by NeuroVigil. This seemingly simple gadget can translate pure thinking into computer instructions or language. Even if you just blink it, you can also understand it. It is like human beings' stomach maggots. "general. Establishing a certain level of “tact†between the human brain and the computer is a goal that neuroscientists have been pursuing for a long time. Hawking, who was sentenced to "life imprisonment" by motor neurone disease, is an ideal experimental subject and an important experimental goal. In his home office, everything from speech synthesizers, Skype cameras, haute couture computers, “reading face†infrared glasses to specially crafted monitors is readily available. According to reports, Intel is tailoring a set of facial recognition software for Hawking. At that time, even if the invisible facial expressions change, they can't escape the "eyes" of computers.
According to Ruth O'Hara, associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral science at Stanford University School of Medicine, iBrain has "opened a new window" for Hawking's brain as the "best" reader ever. The scientist of the old age can only maintain its daily communication and scientific research through the so-called "face switch." A simple signal, it will take several minutes to be issued. In contrast, iBrain can automatically receive brainwave signals and "translate" them in real time into different behavioral and mental activities.
It is said that iBrain's R&D work was supported by Hawking himself. In the experiment, the researchers found that even if they were so weak that they couldn't lift a finger, Hawking could still create some kind of "continuous and recurring signal pattern" through thinking activities. For example, when he "imagines that he is squeezing the ball with his right hand," the computer can receive the corresponding brainwave signal and convert it into words, words or commands.
The latest readers also include smart phone applications and clock-radio transmitters launched by Zeo, both of which can record and analyze the user's sleep mode; Emotiv Systems' Epoc headsets are equipped with a range of applications and accessories from Neurofeedback, 3D brain maps, and “Angry Birds†that are popular around the world are all available, but the real mystery is hidden in the seemingly insignificant electrodes, any “careful thinking†or The expression "little expression" will be clearly written "to the forehead." For people with ALS and other motor disorders, the advent of reading minds is undoubtedly an "exciting" good news. In the words of Philip Roth, the father of iBrain, simply nodding, shaking his head, or blinking, the computer can “send and receive emails, switch lights, and even engage in a dialogue with the guestsâ€.
However, Hawking himself still seems to be worried about iBrain. “At the moment, my face is switching faster,†he wrote in the email. “If something happens one day, I think I will try Philip’s system.†Indeed, how to implement Hawking brainwaves and computers and other devices The fusion is still the biggest problem facing the research team. In any case, Philippe will not hesitate to "read the heart" in the end: "Can such a person like Hawking better communicate with the world, even if it can only improve a little, is not it a great thing?"
