How to Move Objects With Your Mind
About Me
The Most Important Part of My Life
Family
My walk with Christ is the most important part of my life. He is what I live for and what I value above all else. I believe that our purpose as God's creation is to love, serve, worship, and glorify God in everything that we do.
Future
Now biomedical engineers are working towards improving these methods and developing new ones to further the advancement of using the brain to control foreign objects. Potential future developments include completely functional artificial limbs and even robots that respond to thought.
Why Biomedical Engineering
As an athlete I have always been interested in how the body works. This combined with my appreciation for math and science led me to choose Biomedical Engineering as my future major.
Now...
Using modern technology we are beginning to explore different ways of creating artificial prostheses.
But we are getting close
New technology has led to major advancements in artificial prosthetic limbs.
Before most prostheses were unable to move or had very basic movements connected with other movements in the body (e.g. flexing the wrist causes artificial fingers to curl).
How to Move Objects With Your Mind
What do these characters have in common?
They all control objects (outside their body) with their minds
Well, as of now we can't give people the ability to move objects, like Luke's robot hand, as easily or fluently as these characters
But how is this possible?

Another method uses a rearrangement of nerves. A custom socket for the prosthetic limbs is made. This socket also makes the neurological connections with the reinnervated nerves.
One of these ways uses the signals in your brain to control a machine
This potential method uses BCIs and EEGs to read what your brain is thinking and translate that signal into an electrical signal that controls a machine such as a prosthetic limb.
EEG: A method that tracks and records brain wave patterns. This is used to record what different brain wave patterns mean.
BCI: Brain-Computer Interface. What translates the brain signal into a computer signal.
This method is not without problems. Not all signals are very clear and easy to read or record.
