Usually we dial phone numbers by pressing the button. A group of scientists at the University of California, San Diego, United States (U.S.) develop a system that lets users make phone calls just by thinking about it.Just think of the phone number you called, and you are directly connected to that number. This is not a illusionist scene in the show, but it happened thanks to a recent discovery.
As a new invention, with quite different from development to make steady connection, the method is claimed to be quite accurate. The developers are optimistic, this finding could be very useful for people with disabilities or those who require more hands-free function when dialing phone numbers.
Tzyy-Ping Jung who led the research, explains that the system he developed with his team, to track electrical activity in the brain by means of a special headband equipped with electrodes and Bluetooth.Users have to use a headband that connect to this computer will be shown a series of numbers from 0 to 9 on the screen.
Each digit is thinking blinks and detected by the electrode. Furthermore, Bluetooth will know it as the number to call and forward it to your mobile phone, dialing phone numbers to make calls. “The level of accuracy has reached 70 to 85 percent,” claims Jung. “From our experience, anyone can do it. Some people have a higher accuracy than others,” says Jung
However, this finding is still a prototype and needs further development. But at least, this shows the potential for the development of devices with growing minds based interface. Hopefully when it is work, it can help people dialing phone numbers.
