Honda connects brain thoughts with robotics

[dec55]

TOKYO (AP) - Opening a car trunk or controlling a home air conditioner could become just a wish away with Honda's new technology that connects thoughts inside a brain with robotics.

Honda Motor Co. has developed a way to read patterns of electric currents on a person's scalp as well as changes in cerebral blood flow when a person thinks about four simple movements—moving the right hand, moving the left hand, running and eating.

Honda succeeded in analyzing such thought patterns, and then relaying them as wireless commands for Asimo, its human-shaped robot.

Humans are becoming so incredibly lazy... neat concept... but, I doubt it'll be practical.

It could be in the event of the handicapped.

Although if it's as accurate as voice recognition software in navi systems...I can see it now. You think about having the robot help grab the telephone and dial a number and it instead, picks you up and asks you where in Nevada you'd like to go to.

True story, for some reason the phrase "Phonebook Renee" to my car sounds just like "Destination Nevada".
