A researcher at the University of Washington has sent a brain signal over the Internet and the result has been to control the motion of a colleage’s hand who was seated on the other side of the campus.
In February of this year, Duke University scientists used sensors to sent the thoughts of a rat in Brazil to another rat, which received the signals and copied the behavior of the Brazilian rat.
Much of this research is aimed at helping those who are paralyzed, but it also opens a door toward mental sending and control of other people and animals as if they were robots.
