Strange world

Harvard scientists have created an interface that allows humans to move a rat's tail just by thinking about it.

We're not quite at the stage where we can communicate brain to brain with our fellow humans quite yet — but we may be on our way to communicating with other animals. Or at least controlling them, thanks to a new, non-invasive interface developed by scientists at Harvard Medical School.

A team led by assistant professor of radiology Seung-Schik Yoo has created a brain-to-brain interface (BBI) that allows a human controller to move a portion of a rat's body just by thinking about it — all without invasive surgical implants.

Brain-to-computer interfaces (BCI) are becoming more common; that is, an interface that allows a human to control a computer or gadget with thought using electroencephalography (EEG). A bi-directional interface — one that allows communication from the computer back into the brain — is a little trickier; without applying some sort of physical stimulation, it's impossible for a computer to force a brain to send out the signals that control limb movement, for example.

This is where focused ultrasound (FUS) comes in. This delivers focused acoustic energy to a specific point; it's usually used to heat and destroy diseased or damaged tissue, such as tumours, in hard-to-reach places, such as the deeper regions of the brain. Yoo's team, however, has found that a lower-intensity blast can be used to stimulate brain tissue without damaging it.

So here's how it works. The human controller is hooked up to an EEG-based BCI, while the rat is hooked up to an FUS-based computer-to-brain interface (CBI). The process starts with Steady State Visually Evoked Potentials — the human views an image of a circle flashing in a specific pattern. This generates electrical brain activity in the same frequency. When this activity is detected by the BCI, it sends a command to the CBI, which in turn sends FUS into the region of the rat's brain that controls its tail, causing it to move.

Using six different human subjects and six different rat subjects, the team achieved a success rate of 94 per cent, with a time delay of 1.59 ± 1.07 seconds between user intention and the rat's response.

This isn't the first time that brain-to-brain communication has been successfully achieved with rats. Earlier this year, Miguel Nicolelis at the Duke University Medical Center developed a BBI that allowed rats to transmit their thoughts to each other. http://www.cnet.com.au/scientists-give-rats-brain-to-brain-communication-339343529.htm

What could you do with a mind-controlled animal? Well, our first thought was little monkey butlers, but, on a more practical level, they could be used for environmental surveillance and search and rescue. It's still very early days yet, though. We hope that's enough time to iron out the ethical concerns.

you browsing from a system?

a phone. Chrome browser

I see no changes. All looks the same

4llerbuntu: omg. pls dont start again. pls stop mentioning anything abt that brand here to avoid brain numbing folly being displayed... thanks


meanwhile this is from a proper chinese oem and costs 130 dollars. http://en.miui.com/thread-6098-1-1.html
i weep for ignorance.



@note user. it always amuses me when u pple say you are unrooted and running stock like that was such a great thing.

understand this. thats a fat lie on android. most devices are not that good in default config. least of all the note.

you forgot to mention what os version you are on.

anyway the brickbug is not linked to the eMMc chip alone but the kernel misconfig. on the note you should NEVER be on the stock kernel.


advice for you is to flash a LT6 jellybean stock rom then flash philz safe kernel. (because apparently u are a great believer in stock)

what u are getting is called Sleep Of Death. way to manage it is to make sure your minimun kernel frequency is 200mhz and where it happens u boot into CWM recovery and wipe dalvik cache and cache.

u should boot up then.

my recommendation tho is to go to xda and download the latest thaidai deodexed stock rom and flash with philz kernel. then flash COH kernel after a reboot.

u wont get issues with this and u get the best performance on a stock rom on the note
keep the rom .zip on sdcard and if any issue arises u simply reboot into recovery and do a dirty flash and all ur stuff will be intact when u boot up.

android dev is not just because pple tinker but to solve live issues.

I was a believer in stock for months till my eyes were opened

Awesomeness delivered

Piponomics: Morning guys.
Does anyone know anything about the Sudden Death Syndrome and how I can deal with it? I've had to 'flash' my note 2 3 times in two weeks. After each flashing episode it works for a while before it packs up again.
I have done the eMMC check as recommended by some webpages and it doesn't have the 'insane chip'.
Its disheartening as I don't play games on the phone and it has never been rooted..Except for some long hours on twitter over the weekends, I qualify as the typical light user.
Any ideas will be welcomed.

redpill will save you this trouble

WhiZTiM: Damnn!! See small oportunity to try my luck ohh!

Unfortunately, I was made to understand that the MTN NextApps store is for Android. Which requires Java Apps!
*heads back to learning Arabic

Fruitlessly checked the internet for positive encouragement to Android's NDK... But negetive...

And I can't throw huge money into xamarin. i wish they considered Microsoft Windows Phone....


Well, what more can I say...?

There's this project "necessitas" or something, you could check how far they've gone with it. Mono too has something like that

Leopantro: FINALLY.

A new project on android I can sink my teeth into.

What Is dSploit?
dSploit is actually a suite of
security tools bundled together
in one application. It runs on
rooted Android (2.3+) devices,
its code is freely available at
GitHub , and it's actually a
great utility if you're a security
professional or otherwise enjoy
the ins and outs of network
security, hacking, and
penetration testing. We want to
be clear that we're not
villainizing the tool here;
unlike apps like Firesheep ,
Faceniff , and Droidsheep ,
dSploit isn't made for the sole
purpose of cracking networks
or hijacking user sessions. It
can certainly sniff out
passwords transmitted in plain
text on an open network, and
it can crack poorly secured Wi-
Fi networks. It can also scan
networks for vulnerabilities,
crack keys on common routers,
and of course, hijack browser,
website, or social network
sessions and hold on to them.
You can see a full list of the
tool's features here .

When i mentioned this months ago you showed no interest. Wetin change?

I know this woman. Online of cause. Thought it was a ruse

Hmmm

Leopantro:

instead of commenting on all the ? fine ¿ girls , what interested you most was the data. Airtel

That's the key thing

EDIT: Pavlov's wasn't false memory?
Your point being ....


Perhaps the missing punctuation sent a wrong message

0monnakoda:

Whether the response is based on MEMORY or just reflexes is an assumption or speculation since animals cannot tell us whether they "remember"

This is exactly why I pointed out the assessment of the memory of an animal is limited unlike humans so they have the right to take it they implanted "false" memories.

Dogs kept alive on machines with their brains removed can be made to salivate,produce erections etc in response to environmental stimuli. Is this memory?

No it isn't and that’s different from this very case.

There is nothing new or earth shatttering here. Animals can be trained to respond with fear to ropes because they look like snakes , does this amount to a false memory?

I never said it was earth shattering. Was only pointing out that they're not entirely wrong to call it a memory since we can't clearly assess memory in animals. Maybe you got me wrong

utisage: I am a christien but this is complete bullshit. If you know NASA very well, even if they found such a message they would never release it to the public. Nigerians should try expand their knowledge base beyond what pastors preach at churches. Most naive Nigerian christiens will jump and praise the Lord for this supposed discovery but in all fairness this post has only riddicled us as christiens. True christiens do not tell lies or do we?.

The world is moving faster than stupid stories like this very one. Google NASA and UFO and see for yourselve how secretive NASA is.

I wonder if the people jumping at this are actually Christians. I doubt they are.

0monnakoda: Spatial? how is salivating to a bell spatial

I asked it it was false not new. There is nothing spatial about the dog salivating and I believe you are wasting my time

Pavlov's wasn't false memory
Your point being ....

lifehacker: see wait till i downsize d pic and upload it ul nt drool-. ull urinate

waiting patiently

0monnakoda:
Before you go far come back to earth and DEFINE memory. Without a working definition of memory we will go round in circles.
It is possible even to talk about memory in plants so really we must agree on what "memory" means.

Secondly the claim is about implanting "FALSE" memories so in order to talk about false we must know what memory is and what the concept of FALSE memories is all about.

1 a : the power or process of reproducing or recalling what has been learned and retained especially through associative mechanisms
b : the store of things learned and retained from an organism's activity or experience as evidenced by modification of structure or behavior or by recall and recognition
http://i.word.com/idictionary/memory

Pavlov trained dogs to salivate to bell . Was this a case of planting a false memory?

He implanted a new spatial memory, yes

0monnakoda:
Humans are not animals ? are they plants?
I am not sure what you mean What is animal memory ? can you define it and how is this different from Pavlov's Bell ringing salivation experiment?

The story claims they "implanted FALSE memories" what does that mean in the ANIMAL world

Humans are higher animals whose memory can be assessed by more advanced methods because they can express themselves in a more advanced way with specific details. For lower animals though, it's always crude (the assessment)
