The brain-controlled robots are not science fiction anymore.



The idea of the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is taken from the biomechanic prosthesis. That gives people the ability to control prostheses by using neural signals. The modern versions of that prosthesis are using WLAN or Bluetooth communication. 

And that means the electrodes of those advanced systems are under the skin. There are no external wounds in that kind of system. And the transmitter gets its electricity from similar batteries that are used in pacemakers. Or the more futuristic systems can use neuro-electricity as an energy source. 

Paralyzed people can control their wheelchairs by using the BCI (Brain-Computer Interface). The key in the brainwave control robots is simple. The user of the robots uses those systems through a computer. 

BMI (Brain-Machine Interface) requires the BCI to operate. And teaching the BCI can happen by simulation. The key for those systems is that the computer must recognize the EEG that the brain sends at certain moments. 

And, the simulations can teach the BCI to connect the BCI to a certain action. The requirement for the perfect BCI system is that the computers know what kind of brain waves the brain sends when it wants to do something. 

Those BCI systems development is not as difficult as people normally think. The developers can use simulators as an example, a driving simulator where the person drives by using a virtual device. The computer will record those brainwaves while the person uses this machine. 



There are three stages in that process. 


*The driver will control the virtual device by using regular controls. And the system will record the EEG in those moments.  The system connects that EEG to the movements of the control systems. 


When as an example driver turns the wheel or presses the gas pedal the system connects that action with the EEG. And then that record can use for making the BCI system. 


*In the next stage the controller will not use physical control systems. That means the controller can make movements but the system compiles the EEG to the records that are made in the first moment. 


*And in the last stage, that data can connect to the other vehicles. The BCI might require that person moves hands or feet. 


But the goal of that kind of development process is that the user of that kind of system requires only a helmet where the electrodes are. The system can interact with users by using HUD glasses. 

Or in the most advanced visions, the system interacts with brains by stimulating the cerebral cortex or brain core. That kind of simulation makes the robot the external body of the user. The user cannot make difference between the senses. That is coming from robots and the user's senses. 

But how to eliminate the need to move hands or feet if the person uses BCI to control things like jet fighters? In some visions, the person just is paralyzed by using chemicals. Or who cares how the person who is remote-controlling some robot moves their hands or feet?

When robots are laughing and crying.

When robots are laughing and crying.  Does the AI have feelings?  Does the AI have feelings? Or can it be emphatic? The fact is this program code that controls the AI determines if it can give empathic reactions. The problem with the human nervous system is that we don't make a difference in the writing of empathic letters or telling empathic stories human or AI. Our nervous system is not adapted to AI yet. And that's why we cannot separate text written by AI from text that made by humans.  What does somebody make with AI that can emulate feelings? The fact is that the cyborgs are useful tools for infiltration operations. The human-size robots can have WLAN/6G connections with the central computers. Or they can form a neural network that shares information between all group members. The robots can also act as walking neural network-based supercomputers. That can make complicated solutions.  In those networks, each member shares information and their data-handling capacity all o

Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization

    Earth 2.0 has been caused discussion about the possibility to find another civilization The Earth 2.0 or officially Kepler-452b is locating extreme log distance from Earth(1).    A new Earth-type planet has been found near the star, which is similar to our own Sun. The journey to that planet would take 1400 years, even if the spacecraft will reach the speed of the light. The planet has been found in the year 2008, but the confirmation of the existence of that planet has been taken time, but in 2015 the confirmation has been got, and Earth 2.0 has turned true.  The mass of that planet is 1,9 times Earth and the temperature is excellent if we are thinking about liquid water, but the journey to that planet will take so long, that we cannot ever go in there by using regular rockets and technology. The thing is that this kind of planets are the most interesting if we are looking for the lifeforms, which are similar to us, and the problem with that kind of things is that the communicatio

Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission

  Image I Tunguska meteorite and the natural nuclear fission 1) Tunguska UFO-theory  Tunguska meteorite is the mystery, that has been solved once, but then the case has been open again because Lake Cheko was not suitable for an impact crater. That lake has been introducing as an impact crater of the Tunguska meteorite. But the problem is that the shape of that lake is like a swimming pool. And that means it cannot form by a meteorite. So the mystery remains.  Meteorites can launch the natural nuclear fission if they hit the uranium ore, and transfer the impact energy to that ore. And is the thing that the famous "Tunguska" meteorite caused that kind of effect? There is also a theory that some "UFO" explode in that area, but the thing is that it is only theory, but interesting topics for some TV-series.  So I will begin this text by handling that theory, which is one of the incredible and outstanding theories in the world. Officially there is no physical evidence of
