How Long Should Wood Be Clamped

The driving power of the mind

With all the revolt that is setting the new standard limit of 110 km on the highway ... What better time to talk about automotive technology!

So, if you already requires high doses of concentration on the activity of motor vehicle handling, now, thanks to the new driving system with the thought that the labs for independent innovation of the Freie Universität Berlin have created.

This invention relates to sensors that measure brain waves (EEG sensors to record -EEG-), which are able to measure the control commands to commands such as "left", "right", "accelerate" and "stop" (this test was developed at the old airport of Tempelhof-Berlin-).

With all this, they developed a interface to connect sensors to the driver of a vehicle run by a computer, which is controlled by the thoughts of the person concerned. Thus, the computer was trained to link brain patterns to driving commands, connecting the meter with the steering, throttle and brakes

These scientists used for the first time these sensors to measure brain waves of a person who managed to move a virtual cube with the power of their thoughts (because it was passed to try and vehicles).

As said Raul Rojas, director of the project, performance testing, a driver equipped with EEG sensors were able to control the car without problems. So the project is expected to soon see the light to promote, especially to all those who have difficulties and barriers to drive, to make your life more comfortable and safer.
