Brain Control of a Robotic Hand

[temps105]

Can he not open and close it without saying the word?

[unrealshrimp]

Yeah but what sucks is that everytime you would want to use your arm you have to wear that helmet

[ericipericie]

Raise middle finger, lower middle finger, raise middle finger, lower middle finger, raise middle finger, lower middle finger, raise middle finger, lower middle finger, raise middle finger, lower middle finger.............

[Bopiiful]

DONT U ALL THINK THAT TECHNOLEGY IS SOOO AMAZING TODAY IT SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE REACHED THE LIMIT....WE AINT EVEN THERE YET. CHECK OUT THOSE NEW HOLOGRAMS ON I PHONE

[9snaker]

@Bopiiful

this is shit

i've seen REAL holograms, coming out of somewhere in real life 3D (that mean holographic), which can even be touched like they are motion sensors!

[TheRoyalcrime]

this project would help milions of people with diseases or anything who have dead arms.

[DevilmanAltair]

Deus Ex

[ShaggieTV]

I need one of those so i can fap fap fap with my mind like Lord Vader and my name shall be Master Vader!!

[killerbiller35]

i already know the first thing i would do with it, gosh im so childish, you know you're thinking the same though..

[mrmoogle1]

very nice. now, that's amazing. Once the link is a bit more smooth and you could open and close the robot hand just as fast as you could open and close your own, that would be the ideal prosthetic limb. Maybe even an advantage over natural parts.

[Bluedash3r]

@mrmoogle1 I THINK it can be faster but u have to train your mind and with time it will get faster

[roofy2k]

you need to flip someone off

[mochocote]

Por favor respeten el trabajo de los científicos. PLEASE SHOW A LITTLE OF RESPECT!!!

[TheDmoneykid]

1min of a guy saying close, open, close, open lmaooo :)

[bstmanversusskeletor]

This video made me sad ;_;

[lnocks]

The value in this research is in part, that if, say orion1077 had the bad luck to be paralyzed, a prosthesis with an end-effector like this that he/she could move by thinking about it would replace a hook on the end of a peg...but then someone's taxes would have to pay for that, and orion1077 would not get the arm without an enormous personal income.

[Arwa196]

hey ppl ... if any body knows about brain computer interface .... or have some documantain about it .... plz let me know

[1Nekit1]

Such a ZOBIE - Open/Close XD LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!

[WolfLord3k]

well takes a long time for it to listen

[hochityuen]

I think the man behind the voice "open / close" should have kept quiet as it now seems like the robot hand is voice-controlled instead...

[KarySanger]

@hochityuen dude, if they WANTED to cheat there are a gafriggingoogilion better ways to do that. it probably just helped him to imagine it.

[petevandebeat]

nintendo wii was yesterday

[jfdelgad]

It is easy to write here that this is only a couple of transistors and a simple c++ code, but the true is that this involve: signal adquisition, preprocesing, feature extraction and selection, and classification where machine learning techniques are used.... so is not so easy my friends this field is younger compared with others and the results are becoming each time better and the future application are unimaginable, I think its very nice

[madeye0]

This is not impressive, it can obviously differentiate only between two states active/non-active. This type of EEG recognition is around for almost 60 years. These "researchers" are just playing silly games.

[powerone1]

madeye0...unless you are part of this research and have excess to their data...you don't know what the hell you are talking about. Your criticism is not based on any facts, but just you looking for something negative to post.

[madeye0]

Well, the robotic hand thingy obviously have only two state input so it's silly to use it for something what might be easily demonstrated on a lightbulb.

[orion1077]

@madeye0

Spot on! They are essentially trying to "capture the public's imagination", because that get's them research grants, so they can live on the back of the taxpayers.

[jadeangel2757]

@madeye0 i like that you put quotations around the word "researchers" as if implying that scientists at johns hopkins university, of all places, are somehow not actually doing research.

[JLUFantasy]

@jadeangel2757 i like how he removed the quoted xD

[cosminx2003]

isn't it just voice recognition ? lol

[juaneorlandi]

My thoughts on this: Probably the signal from the cap does actually trigger the opening or closing event, but the open/close movement then is too smooth and always occurs in the same way, if indeed every finger movement came from the brain, it wouldn't be possible for them to move as they do equally every time. Still, just the triggering is impressive enough!

[Cathode0]

It looks like he can send two registerable signals to the hand, open and close? Or is there more to it?

[Tutoman2]

Too many movements

[ostrorawr]

Nothing to do with chemistry (at least not directly) - these are outercranial recordings. They're just recording electrical potentials from the scalp.

At this level, we're talking about sensing from groups of thousands of neurons, not single neurons.

[chemistrycoolguyscom]

how did you do it please xplain it to me

[PinkProgram]

This is useful ^_^
