B2B – BrainToBrain: A BCI Experiment – May 2009
This is a BCI experiment whereby one person uses BCI to transmit a series of digits over the internet to another person whos computer receives the digits and transmits them to the second users through flashing an LED array. The encoded information is extracted from the brain activity of the second user. This shows true brain-to-brain activity. This is done as a proof of concept – to show that B2B *is* possible – which it is, as we show here. The first person uses motor imagery to generate the digits and the flashing LEDS generate steady-state visual evoked potentials in the brain of the second person – the PCs read these data from the electroencephalograms of EEG person.

so kids, start learning binary code!

with BLIND people it didn’t work. Brain to Brain concept FAIL.

I kind of don’t understand, can somebody fill me in.. wait, just explain it brain to brain! HAHA
Wrong ! All the …
Wrong ! All the brain cells are used. By exemple, a man who suffured of brain dammages, may probably recuperate because other cells take the places of the destroyed cells.
We must use this to …
We must use this to train AI to our own brain workings.
Once they learn how to be more like us, perhaps they can surpass our intelligence and spark the singularity.
I’m hungry!
Wrong.
Wrong.

Aaaaaaweeeeeeeeesome!

5% of our brain is used. The other 95% = possibilities
This is really …
Can’t wait for the wireless brain-cap.
This is really awesome, should put more time into understanding the brain so that it’s no longer ‘imagine moving your left arm’ to send a 0, but rather that it picks up something faster and easier.
Tinfoil a bit tight?

I find this v …
I find this v exciting – but at what point will we have communication with BtB/HCI that is more than left or right, on or off, 1 or 0, . or -? At what point can we convey more complex data/emotion and how? And will that require “training” to decode it?Having the pc/internet to convey information isn’t such a bad thing, it means that this can be done with 2 parties anywhere in the world where there is a network connection.Can this be measured in a more direct way bet 2 people in adjoining rooms?
Do not confuse this …
Do not confuse this with telepathy, this is more like “Look Maw, No Hands and No Mouth!!”
I can see how this could be something the military would be interested in with increased bit rates, silent communication.
Wonder who’s funding…..
This video looks …
This video looks way better than their website, maybe they should have embedded it x.x
This hardly shows a …
This hardly shows a communication through power of brain ALONE. LED, for one. Besides, the computer is recognizing pattern extracted from person. So, computer and LED are necessary just for decoding info (not counting transmission).
By which law of …
By which law of nature did you expect ESP would be channeled?
Furthermore, by definition, watching recorded video IS extra sensory. You were not there when the event occured, it was beyond your biological senses, and yet you witnessed the event.
I wish the net was a smarter place. I get so depressed by all the morons creating so much white noise. It is almost pointless using the net for intelligent discussion. Every 2bit moron wants to add his unintelligible opinion.
I cant believe you …
I cant believe you amatuers expect that there will be a technology called ESP that can somehow link into a nonexistent sense perception that has no foundation, reciever or processing equipment in the brain. Either the sensory infrastructure is there (smell, touch, taste, sound, sight) and we utilise that, or we dont use B2B communication. This is not Star Trek. The idea of ESP is a fantasy, and we are trying to make a real approximation, not ESP is real and we are trying to understand it.
SO DUMB. I suppose …
SO DUMB. I suppose P2P isnt really P2P because it travels over the internet?
yes it is. You …
yes it is. You expect they can use some magical ESP ether to send thoughts?
daftest …
daftest misinterpretation of the truth I have seen i a while. 1 and zero are different to dot and dash? You need an ontological maths lesson.
Really cool stuff …
Really cool stuff guys. This is surely a building block to something new.
Very interesting! …
Very interesting! But, how does the LED flashing translate into sufficient brain activity to produce a 0 or 1 in the brain of person 2?
For those who think …
For those who think this doesn’t prove anything or mean anything, those who are dissapointed by this, perhaps they wanted something to equal Hollywood’s efforts? Your sort of pedestrian and unimaginative thinking just goes to justofy the existence at least of creative and intelligent people. Otherwise you would still be living in fear of the plague and of falling of the edge of the world. This is a proof of concept. Akin in meaning to the Wright brothers first flight yet a proof of possibility.
No, don’t send ones …
No, don’t send ones and zeroes. Humans can’t do anything useful with those. Send Dots and Dashes – Morse Code. It’s the same thing, but it has meaning. Get some hams to test this and send an actual message.
So the most …
So the most important and crucial task to accomplish is to make a device that is able to transfer information into thoughts of the brain. Without this device real brain-to-computer-to-brain communication would not be possible. My opinion is that the research should be concentrated to developing computer to brain interface.
Looks pretty cool, if it’s not too much work to set up the rules – might solve the issues I had when I briefly tried to use ping.fm a while back and got frustrated with either not having enough control over crossposting or having to manually enter tags with each post to make it crosspost correctly. Sounds like this automates that sort of thing a bit, and may even make more things possible. Are you finding it intuitive, Scott?

Dear BCI,
Jack's observations are far more than entertaining. I think he speaks like he walked out of the church in 1968 and is waiting to return. I was carried into a church for my infant baptism in the 1960's and only since Pope Benedict XVI have i fully realized the true destruction since V2. We need men like Jack with wit and wisdom to counter the effeminate bozo baby boomer reformers in high and influential places.(see the usual suspects found at BCI) The Vatican's initiative to require that local bishops offer The Latin Mass in their diocese at the request of the faithful is huge.

It is interesting that we received a comment on this post that had some very unsubstantiated rumors about this experiment. Thus the comment is unpublished.
The attack on this good professional's stature demonstrates what will happen when someone attempts to bring an experiment about homeopathy. Particularly if the experiment shows that homeopathy scientifically works and is therefore plausible.
