An actual B2B communication conducted by Dr. Chris James
Communication is a very powerful way in understanding human intentions and decisions. While there are many tools for humans to communicate from different locations, there are only a few which can help disabled individuals to say what's on their minds. Paralytics and stroke patients can benefit mostly from technologies that will enable them to communicate.
Following the research of BCI or Brain-Computer-Interface, now comes another breakthrough in brain science. B2B or short for Brain-to-Brain communication is presented recently by Dr. Chris James from the University of Southampton, in response to the need of people with severe debilitating muscle wasting diseases, or with the so-called 'locked-in' syndrome, to communicate.
It works with the use of an Electroencephalogram (EEG) amplifier worn on the head of the patient. EEG captures and sends digital brain signals via the computer.
'His experiment had one person using BCI to transmit thoughts, translated as a series of binary digits, over the internet to another person whose computer receives the digits and transmits them to the second user's brain through flashing a LED lamp', sciencedaily.com.
