An Infrared Brain Scan That Can Determine What You Want

Canadian researchers have prepare a “ head read ” technology that can predict which of two point a person will favour with 80 percent accuracy .

invent at the University of Toronto to assist children who can not move or speak , the infrared image scanner picks up brain patterns demand in very round-eyed penchant – such as which variety of sal soda you would wish to imbibe . A theme on the twist was release this week in the Journal of Neural Engineering .

According to the University of Toronto :

Wearing a headband fitted with fiber - optics that let loose light into the pre - head-on lens cortex of the brain , [ test national ] were shown two drinks on a reckoner monitor , one after the other , and ask to make a mental decision about which they liked more .

“ When your brain is active , the O in your blood increase and depending on the concentration , it absorbs more or less scant , ” [ researcher Sheena ] Luu said . “ In some people , their wit are more active when they do n’t care something , and in some people they ’re more active when they do like something . ”

After teach the figurer to agnise the unequaled pattern of genius activity associated with preference for each subject area , the researchers accurately predicted which drink the participants liked best 80 per cent of the time .

The machine functions by mensurate formula of nigh - infrared light absorption into brain tissues . Luu added that the twist can only put to work for simple druthers determination , and that the Einstein is far too complex for the twist to translate thoughts that go beyond “ I would opt this electric chair to that president . ” She hop the twist , when hone , will aid fully paralyzed people express preferences in their daily lives .
