From mind to move

Filed in archive Science on October 25, 2006

The Philoneist brought my attention to a NASA lab with an interesting field of research. The lab's name is Ames Research Center. Sure, at first I thought this is SciFi because the project he talked about was "how to read my mind and communicate".
Is it signals from nerves or muscles - our body operates using electric signals - and the lab has the technology for direct reading.

Jorgensen and his colleagues are also developing bio-electronic interfaces that use muscle signals to customize physical-electronic interfaces across a wide variety of situations, from helping the disabled regain mobility to moving robots with one's eyebrows.

You can call it ubiquitous communication.
