Mind Control of Systems

1
Mind Control of Systems

• Designing a system to measure brain waves in
  order to obtain commands to control the direction
  of a remote-control car
• By
• Gary Obenski
• Jim Bradbury

2
Primary Goals

• Determine an efficient way to obtain brain wave
  signals from human subject
• Determine a way to change different wave patterns
  to commands such as left and right

3
Electroencephalography

• Science of recoding electric currents produced by
  human brain
• Discovered by Hans Berger in late 1920s

4
Brain waves

• Arise from cerebral cortex
• Byproduct of normal brain function
• Millions of pyramidal cells produce small
  currents as the nerve impulses change

5
Four types of waves
Alpha
Beta
Delta
Theta
6
Similar experiments

• Mind control by rats
• US Air Force flight simulator

7
Biofeedback

• Alternative method to try to interpret brain wave
  signals
• Trains individual to learn how to produce
  specific frequencies

8
Where to go now

• Acquire the means to harness EEG waves
  (Integration of Amplifier and Filter)
• Interpret signal as 1s and 0s
• Condition subject to consistently produce desired
  signal
• Interface EEG waveform to computer software
• Change the world!!!
