Machine reads thought to control devices

It forgets the control remote. A new technology demonstrated in Japan can become possible to control devices without moving a muscle, only with the cerebral activity. The “interface brain-machine”, developed for the Hitachi, analyzes light changes in the sanguineous chain in the brain and translates the cerebral movement in electric signals. A species of helmet was connected through fiber optics to a device of mapping, that in turn was connected to a train of controlled toy for computer, in a demonstration in the laboratory of advanced research of the Hitachi, in Hatoyama, in Japan. “It breathes deep and it relaxes”, said Keu Utsugi, researcher of the project, while it demonstrated the device in the last Wednesday. To its signal, another researcher, using the helmet, made simple mental arithmetic and the train was onward, pparently indicating cerebral activity in the cortex frontal, responsible for the solution of problems. “To activate that region of the human brain - making accounts or singing a music - it is what it makes the train to walk”, says Utsugi. When the person pára to make the calculations, the train also pára. Under the interface of the machine it is a technology called topography optics, that sends small amounts of light infra-red ray through the surface of the brain, to mapear changes in the sanguineous chain. Although this type of technology traditionally to be focada in medicinal uses, companies as Hitachi and Honda have studied commercial applications. Scientists of the Hitachi are wanting to develop a remote control of television commanded only for the mind. Already the Honda, whose monitorial interface the brain with a machine of magnetic resonance, is empolgada to make an intelligent interface for automobiles of next generation. The technology can one day substitute remote controls and keyboards, beyond assisting incapacitated people to operate chairs of wheel, beds or even though electric members. Initially, the idea is to use the device for people with complete paralysis if to communicate. One of the great advantages of the technology of the Hitachi is that it possesss sensors that do not invade the brain physically. Old experiences requested the one implantation chip under the skull. However, still problems exist. The size is the first one, and the Hitachi already developed a band (as those used ones for the tenistas) that it weighs about one kilo. Another problem is the interference of other cerebral activities and as to ignore them. “Any interface commercial brain-machine sufficiently spread out is a little distant”, says Koizumi. It also said that the technology is amused and could be used with toys. “Sufficiently he is amused to move the train with the thought”, declared. AP Copyright 2007 Associated Press.

Church goes to process Sony for “unhealthy” game

A Church of England, igreja nacional do Reino Unido, ameaça processar a Sony. A empresa incluiu sem permissão uma cena de tiroteio em seu jogo Resistance: Fall of Man, que se passa dentro da Catedral de Manchester. A Sony garante que possui documentos que garantem a permissão. Membros da igreja, que considera o jogo "doentio e sacrílego", terão um encontro nesta segunda-feira para discutir os próximos passos do processo.

According to site of the “BBC News”, the Bishop of Manchester, reverendo Nigel McCulloch, considered “the dangerously irresponsible” game for stimulating the use of weapons. The city of Manchester has a sad description of crimes with firearms, and therefore the subject was prominence in main English periodicals as the Daily Mail and the The Times. The public-target of the game is composed for adolescents and young adults.

David Wilson, spokesman of Sony in the United kingdom, declared to the English periodical The Times that “the images of the game had been created by computer; no video or real photograph was gotten in the place. One is only about diversion, as in the seriado Doctor Who or any film of scientific fiction. It is not reality, of form some”.

How much to the allegation of that authorization was not asked for, Wilson says that “during all the process of development of the game, we ask for permission to the competent authorities whenever this if made necessary”.

Machine to make hurricanes

The season of hurricanes in U.S.A. officially started in the day 1º of June. Almost at the same time, engineers of the University of the Flórida, in Gaineville, had shown the simulator greater of hurricane wind never constructed. One is about an enormous machine. Mounted on a trailer, it she is composed for eight industrial fans, each one with a meter and way of diameter. Energized for four nautical engines with a joint power of 2.800 HP, operating the full load its shovels turn 1,800 times per minute. The objective of the engineers is to test its megamáquina in abandoned houses and to study the effect of the devastação of an hurricane with winds of up to 210 km/h - that is, the maximum level of an hurricane of classroom 3, in accordance with the Saffir-Simpson scale. To have an idea of what this means, it is enough to know that the Katrina hurricane, that one exactly that it flooded the city of New Orleans between 28 and 29 of August of 2005. With 230 winds of km/h, was an hurricane of classroom 4. It was the worse natural disaster of the history of U.S.A., responsible for the death of 1.836 people - even so numbers extra-officers raise the cipher for the house of four the a thousand died.
