It seems even dialling a mobile number is becoming too time consuming for our fast-paced time precious society. But researchers in America have come up with a solution - a mobile phone which uses the power of thought to make a call - and you do not have to lift a finger.
對我們這個寸時寸金的快節(jié)奏社會來說,打電話撥號碼似乎也是在浪費時間。對此美國研究人員已經(jīng)找到解決辦法,他們研制出一種大腦撥號手機,不動一根手指,便能撥打電話。
Users wear a specially designed headband which is hooked up to a Blue tooth device that wirelessly sends commands to a Nokia N73 mobile phone. The technology works by responding to cues from the brain and experts believe anyone with training will be able to master the technique.
用戶需要佩戴一個連接藍牙設(shè)備的特制頭部飾帶,通過該裝置向諾基亞N73手機發(fā)送無線信號,然后回應(yīng)大腦發(fā)出的信號。專家認為經(jīng)過練習(xí),任何人都能掌握操作方法。
It is hoped the break-through will be able to create safer hands free mobile phones to help the disabled and elderly and help out professionals in high pressured working environments.
他們希望利用這項技術(shù)為殘疾人,行動不便的老年人,以及高壓工作環(huán)境下的工作人員研制出更安全且不用雙手的手機。
According to the Huffington Post, developer Tzyy-Ping Jung, a scientist at the Swartz Center for Computational Neuroscience at the University of California, San Diego, said the device relies on electroencephalogram (EEG) electrodes on the scalp to work out what the brain is trying to say.
根據(jù)赫芬頓郵報的報道,這項技術(shù)的研發(fā)者,加州大學(xué)圣地亞哥分校斯旺茲電腦神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)學(xué)中心的科學(xué)家鐘子平表示,該設(shè)備通過戴在頭上的腦電波(EEG)電極來分析和確定人想法。
Users wear an EEG headband, which detects brain signals and a Bluetooth gadget sends instructions to the phone. This uses algorithms to process the signals. During trials, users were shown digits from zero to nine flashing at different speeds on a screen and this was detected by the electrodes. Those used in the initial experiments were between 70 percent 85 percent accurate when trying to dial a 10 digit phone number.
使用者佩戴的腦電波裝置檢測出大腦發(fā)出的信號后,藍牙設(shè)備就會給手機發(fā)送指令。該技術(shù)利用演算法則處理信號。試驗過程中,研究人員在屏幕上以不同速度顯示從1到9的阿拉伯?dāng)?shù)字,讓使用者看,腦電波電極就會檢測到使用者大腦里出現(xiàn)的相關(guān)信號。在最初進行的試驗中,參與者撥10位數(shù)的電話號碼的正確率達到70%到85%。
