Fernando Orellana and Brendan Burns have developed a robot that acts out our thoughts while we sleep. With a technique they have coined “Sleep Waking,” the brainwave activity and REM patterns are measured and transferred to a robot which acts out the dream in live action. Different parts of the dream are acted out differently based on changing brainwave patterns. Don’t get too excited, it’s mostly measuring high activity and low activity and presuming certain emotions and actions based on those activity levels, but who knows how far the technology will eventually go as we are able to further map out the complexities of brainwaves and associate standard patterns of activity with known actions, thoughts, speech or behaviors.
Almost no one is talking about it. I even have a hard time finding someone who’s heard of it. It has the potential to influence our lives and our world more than any invention in a long time. So what’s wrong with everyone? I have no idea, but this blog is about bringing to everyone’s attention what should be getting promoted, funded, talked about, encouraged and helped along in every way possible. Brainwave Recognition.
My goal is to create a consolidated information source, discussing the latest breakthroughs in brain wave recognition devices and software that are being developed by a handful of companies and organizations across the world. In various countries, scientists and corporations are developing invasive and non-invasive technologies that allow software to detect and interpret brain waves and then act on them.
