Date posted: 29/05/2006 In the latest developments in brain-computer integration, Japanese automaker Honda has created a technology to use non-invasive brain monitoring to control how a robot moves. In a video demonstration in Tokyo, brain signals detected by a magnetic resonance imaging scanner were relayed to a robotic hand. A person in the MRI machine made a fist, spread his fingers and then made a V-sign. Several seconds later, a robotic hand exactly mimicked the movements. This technology is still a great-deal slower than direct implantation interfaces such as Brain-Gate, but represents a staggering leap forwards in non-invasive techniques.
