The Brain-Computer Interface in 2015: Are We Telepathic Yet?

More details about the FIFA World Cup kickoff exoskeleton

VIDEO 19 min. 2 sec. Here is more information on the exoskeleton worn by Juliano Pinto when he kicked off the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

“Miguel Nicolelis: Brain-to-brain communication has arrived. How we did it”

The above was filmed October 2014 concerning the event on June 12, 2014.

Professor Nicolelis doesn’t get to the “brain-to-brain” subject until the last few minutes of this talk. For about 14 minutes, he identifies that the exoskeleton utilized by Juliano Pinto to kick off the 2014 FIFA [Soccer] World Cup had 15-degree of freedom hydraulic machine that can be controlled by the brain with a noninvasive EEG, covered by an artificial skin invented by an associate in Munich to allow sensation from the joints, to be delivered back to a smart shirt or vest, which fools the wearer to think it is not a machine controlling him but himself controlling the machine. Listen for what Juliano said after he kicked the ball in the practice before the stadium kick at about 12 minutes into the description of the development of the exoskeleton.

Here is an article describing a bit more information based on the last few minutes of Professor Nicolelis’ talk:

Last year we were given the first piece of evidence that telepathy was a working method of communication between two or more people. The only difference was the fact that this form of telepathy was acquired via the use of advanced technology. What was achieved is known as brain-to-brain communications and was done so by hooking up one person into a brain-computer interface, whereas the other person(s) was hooked into a computer-brain interface.

As a result, as soon as the person hooked up in the BCI started thinking of words, those words would then be translated into binary code, transferred over to the CBI, and those hooked up there would immediately think of those exact words. To make the experiment all the more exciting, the people hooked into both the BCI and CBI machines were hundreds of miles apart. And yet, despite their large distance from one another, they were still able to communicate with their thoughts alone. It became the first real-world example of what is to be known as techno-telepathy!

The scientist who helped lead this experiment was Dr. Miguel Nicolelis, who is known for his pioneering studies in neuronal population coding, or as he likes calling it, “reading monkey thoughts.” In his latest TED talk, which was administered near the end of last year, Dr. Nicolelis goes into depth of how brain-to-brain communications – techno-telepathy – worked and the implications that’ll arise from it.
