American student Benjamin Choi invented a robot in the form of a human arm controlled by the power of thought.
He received help from 6 volunteer friends during quarantine from the Corona virus epidemic. Its design is very simple and the robot works perfectly.
The idea to control something without words or buttons came to him years ago when he watched a movie about how pediatric surgeons implanted a special chip in the brain of people with serious illnesses. .
In principle, the device is really simple and a collar worn on a person’s head. It receives brain waves, then sends signals via Bluetooth to the robotic arm and “obedience”.
Six volunteers helped the young engineer experiment with the device as it records brain signals and compared how their hands interact. For example, is the fist clenched or not clenched? Thus, it is possible to “teach” the lever to react correctly. Almost 100% of the commands of the mind are executed.
By the way, the cost of the device is only $ 300. As for the commercial models on the market, their price is not less than ten thousand dollars, and they do not work as they should.

Not so long ago, any talk of “thought-assisted management” was like science fiction, or even pseudoscience, in fact, if the brain gives certain commands and they are decoded by radio, is it possible to have of another brain or an animal? Can’t you accept and understand them? ?
And there is another proof: a well-known scientific television channel has demonstrated a basic method of controlling a plant with the help of meditation. Because the electrodes are attached to the arm, this experiment can be repeated by almost any junior engineer. Its signals affect the plant, raising or lowering its leaves at the request of the engineer.
