Now send words and images to other's brain
London: British scientists have created a system for "brain to brain communication" which will allow people to send thoughts, words and images directly to the other peoples minds. The system is developed by the researchers at the British University of Southampton and is hailed as the future of internet as it will provide a revolutionary way to communicate without the need for keyboards and telephones, according to Business Line. This technology is one of a kind. "This could be useful for those people who are locked into their bodies, who can't speak, can't even blink," said the Lead Scientist Dr. Christopher James. However he cautioned that his experiment were 'the first baby steps' towards technologies that would allow people instantly to send thoughts, words and images directly into the mind of others. The technique used to carry out this task is called brain computer interfacing, a technique that allows computer to analyze brain signal, which enables them to send message formed by a person's brain signals through an internet connection to another person's brain miles away. "Its not telepathy. There's no conscious thought forming in one person's head and another conscious thought appearing in another person's mind," said Dr. James to a British Daily. Dr. Ian Peasrson, a Futurologist who follows trends in advanced computing and communications, praised the development. He said, "In 30 years, you'll think of a message and it will appear on your wife's mobile phone."
