Playing Guitar Hero Without Hands

[AQWTheAsterisk]

Now that dude can say he's played guitar hero before. Freaking Awesome.

[TolenFett]

That's so cool.

[coolistmo]

I dont need hands i need fingas!!!

[days21der]

who is the 1 asshole who disliked

you dont have to come and confess were looking for you and we will find you homeboy

[boredperson778]

pretending to play a pretend guitar :D

[ExtremeRockMusic]

Danny fc'd that mechanical arm.

[laallaal75]

He can play better than i can....

[TheDarklord0211]

LOL

ill remove my limbs just to have a metal hand of ultimate powa!

[Joshloft]

They should try it on expert XDD

[k9lover999]

This is the coolest!!!! I am in a Lego team and hope to go to the nationals with all my friends, win or lose, I will have a great time!!! The theme is medical, or helping improve ways of life. Wish me luck!

[civodulify]

how do they play the orange notes D:

[DTMidian]

@civodulify You have 4 fingers on your hand plus a thumb, all 5 of those digits need to be trained, so I'm sure that the thumb represents a note, probably red and following to the pinky on orange.

[governmentproj13]

"The process is boring and DEMORALIZING". Lol.....

[Gutairvillan987]

that the fucking shit

[kikkeruddabut]

What about the orange note???

[goldsundragon]

next gen gaming gone next gen arms video+music ftw

[amorthis]

genial, try to imagine it in reversed way, when eletrodes will be ale to train your muschles to play real guitar or flute fluently

[libelle156]

this is pretty awesome. how bionic

[GabrielGates1]

i prefer my hand

[dalton30000000000000]

SWEET MAN I CANT WATE TILL ITS LIKE 10 YEARS FROM NOW JUST WONDER WAT WE WOULD HABE THEN BUT SADLY SOME OF ARE GETTING OLD ON LIKE ME lol

[springdom]

awesome

[weerpool14]

Can it ummm ... Well ... Help with masturbation? Well you know . The bare essentials

[scene45gurl]

lmfaooo!

[bozoka11]

@weerpool14 wow

[xriscross1]

That is so cool

the process is boring and demoralizing that was so funny

[Plattapus099]

THIS IS FUCKING AWESOME

[CrispyGrease]

"The process is boring and demoralizing"

I suffocated of laughter when I heard that. I would be excited EVERY second knowing I can have an artificial arm hooked almost to my nervous system.

[DigitizedSelf]

No, believe me... after a LOT of hours without much progress you wouldn't :S

[TranceSFX]

It's a state of mind. Every second is one bit of the whole, and every muscle spasm they map is one step closer to routing an individual's prosthetic. If I were an amputee, I certainly would find every second exciting in principle of what this entire process stands for.

[TranceSFX]

Hell, next thing you know they will figure out a way to route neural impulses from biological material into inanimate objects, so your prosthetic metal arm has sensation :D

[vardarac]

@TranceSFX

They have that already to some degree.

Firstly, they have the military prototype where the pressure on the prosthetic fingertips are translated into mechanical pressure on the shoulder stump. The brain remaps it's sensory map. When you touch certain area's on her shoulder, it feels like touching her thumb, middle finger, palm, etc

Secondly, they have the visual-chip that receives images and is wired into the back of the brain. Giving sight to blind people. Also a prototype.

[TranceSFX]

That's quite incredible.

[fightinandirish]

wow cool imagine how advanced technology will be in 20 years

[ingej32]

HAHA! Cool! :D

[Epicskaterkid96]

so u have to were all the crap on ur arm

[joelmacielm]

ARE U FUCKING KIDING ME

[PolxenTwo]

Let them play ttfaf on expert

Actually, don't.

[VideoViewer26]

in a couple of years that thing will be an xbox game or something

[bobmuffins]

Now something else to test- How well does this run on Expert?

[SwayingDaisies]

I dont think you can use that fifth button... unless you link it to your thumb, I guess...

[loganmonster]

perfet for people who have been born without hands and people that lost their hands if i knew anyone like that i would tell them:)

[glitchTF]

really amazing, kinda like mind control

[BaCkToLuMbY4U]

hax =D

[nilbog12]

rad

[AMDfluffypuppie]

thats so cool

[LegoFluff1996]

Whooooooho fluffy's like me

[vartrox]

wow nica hack xD

[JohnSBRankings]

I think because of the deformities of one born without limb, it wouldn't work correctly, either incorrect muscle movement at the 'nub', or the nerves may not be correctly positioned...but I'm no scientist, you've got interesting insight though, it'd be nice to see someone look into that.

[BlueNight134]

If you can catch the nerve doing something, that impulse can be used.

[TheFlaxenFox]

If you're born without a limb, you likely don't have the neuronal map to that limb in your brain. This means it would be nigh on impossible to move what you want to move and immediately calibrate the mechanical extension. You would essentially have to attach the extension without calibration and grow the neural network.

That's just my theory, though. I'd like to hear someone born with a missing limb or digit chime in.

[kirkygirl]

I have all of my limbs intact, but I thought I would chime in myself. It would be possible to get a prosthesis working for someone who has never had the particular limb in the first place. I think that this would be possible using the same research as phantom limb pain where mirrors are used to decieve the brain. So something like that might be possible.

[XioNilrem]

I wonder if this same logic works for those born without a limb. This plays a lot on previous knowledge of what repetitive motions have been done in the past. And taking that, the muscles still remember what goes for what. But if there never was that arm, I wonder if one would still be able to train their body to move the correct muscles.

[Onemeyaca]

It seem to be that every arm would have to be calibrated to individuals. Im sure you could pick up signal from anywhere the user had available to them.
