First Human Brain-to-Brain Interface, The New MK Ultra? University of Washington researchers have performed the first noninvasive human-to-human brain interface, allowing one person to control the hand of another via the internet. Researcher Rajesh Rao sent brain signals to Andrea Stocco, who was at the other end of the University campus causing Stocco’s finger to move on a keyboard at the right time. The technology uses electrical brain records and a form of magnetic stimulation to record and transfer those signals to another person. Rao played a simple video game with his mind, when he was supposed to fire a cannon at a target he imagined moving his right hand, being careful not to actually move his hand, instead a cursor on his screen moved to the “fire” button. That signal was then transmitted via the internet to Stocco, who wore noise-canceling earbuds and wasn’t looking at a computer screen, he then involuntarily moved his right index finger to push the space bar on the keyboard, firing the cannon at the correct time. “It was both exciting and eerie to watch an imagined action from my brain get translated into actual action by another brain,” Rao said. “This was basically a one-way flow of information from my brain to his. The next step is having a more equitable two-way conversation directly between the two brains.” exposingthetruth.co/first-human-brain-to-brain-interface/#axzz2w83H3tDL ****
