Yet it’s not as far-fetched as you might think: video gamers are eagerly awaiting a crude commercial version of brain wave technology — a $299 headset from San Francisco-based Emotiv Systems — in summer 2009. （克林特被送往窃取飞机， natch ） ，但它不是作为十分牵强，因为您可能会认为：视频游戏玩家的急切心情，等待原油商业版本的脑电波技术-一个2 99美元的版本耳机从总部位于旧金山的e motiv系统-在夏季，到2 009年。 The Army doesn’t move quite as fast as gamers though.军队没有移动相当快，虽然玩家。 The military’s vastly more sophisticated system may be a decade or two away from reality, let alone implementation.军队的很大更复杂的系统，可能是一个或两个十年远离现实，更遑论实施。 The five-year contract it awarded last month to a coalition of scientists from the University of California at Irvine, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Maryland, seeks to “decode the activity in brain networks” so that a soldier could radio commands to one or many comrades by thinking of the message he wanted to relay and who should get it.这个为期5年的合同，这批出上个月的联盟，科学家从在加州大学尔湾，卡内基梅隆大学，马里兰大学，旨在“解码活动在脑网络” ，使一名士兵可能电台命令一个或许多同志思考的讯息，他希望继电器和谁应该得到它。 Initially, the recipients would most likely hear transmissions rendered by a robotic voice via earphones.最初，受助人最有可能听到的传输提供了机器人的声音，通过耳机。 But scientists eventually hope to deliver a version in which commands are rendered in the speaker’s voice and indicate the speaker’s distance and direction from the listener.但科学家们最终希望能提供一个版本，其中命令呈现在发言者的声音和显示发言者的距离和方向，从听众。 “Having a soldier gain the ability to communicate without any overt movement would be invaluable both in the battlefield as well as in combat casualty care,” the Army said in last year’s contract solicitation. “有一名士兵获得沟通能力，没有任何公然运动，将宝贵的，无论是在战场上，以及在战斗中伤亡的照顾， ”军方说，在去年的合同邀约。 “It would provide a revolutionary technology for silent communication and orientation that is inherently immune to external environmental sound and light.” “这将提供一个革命性技术，为沉默的沟通和方向，这是内在的免疫外部环境声光” 。 The key challenge will be to develop software able to pinpoint the speech-related brain waves picked up by the 128-sensor array that ultimately will be buried inside a helmet.关键的挑战将是开发软件，能够针对语音相关的脑电波回升，由128传感器阵列，最终将被安葬在一个头盔。 Those sensors detect the minute electrical charges generated by nerve pathways in the brain when thinking occurs.这些传感器检测分钟的电荷所产生的神经通路在大脑中时，思想发生。 The sensors will generate an electroencephalogram — a confusing pile of squiggles on a computer screen — that scientists will study to find those vital to communicating.该传感器将产生一个脑电图-混乱的一堆s quiggles就在计算机屏幕上-即科学家将研究，以找出那些重要的沟通。 “We think we can train a computer to understand those squiggles to the point that they can read off the commands that your brain is issuing to your mouth and lips,” Schmeisser says. “我们认为，我们可以培养计算机了解这些squiggles到一点，就是他们可以阅读起飞命令你的大脑发出你的嘴和嘴唇， ”施迈瑟说。 Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of finding the single right squiggle.不幸的是，它不是一个问题只是寻求单一的权利， squiggle 。 “There’s no golden neuron that’s talking,” he says. “没有黄金神经元认为，在讨论的， ”他说。 Dr. Mike D’Zmura of UC-Irvine, the lead scientist on the project, says his task is akin to finding the right strands on a plate full of pasta.博士投给zmura加州-尔湾，首席科学家对项目的说，他的任务是类似的寻找合适的strands就一盘充满面食。 “You need to pick out the relevant pieces of spaghetti,” he says, “and sometimes they have to be torn apart and re-attached to others.” But with ever-increasing computing power the task can be done in real time, he says. “你需要挑选出有关件意大利面， ”他说， “有时他们要四分五裂并重新重视别人” ，但与日益增加的计算能力的任务可以做，在真正的时间，他说。 Users also will have to be trained to think loudly.用户还可以将须受训认为大声。 “How do we get a person to think something to themselves in a way that leaves a very strong signal in EEGs that we can read off against the background noise?” D’Zmura asks. “我们如何得到一个人认为，一些在自己的方式留下了非常强烈的信号，在脑电图，我们可以阅读过对背景噪音” ？ -z mura要求。 Finally, because every person’s EEG is different, persons using “thought helmets” will have to be trained so that computers intercepting their unspoken commands recognize each user’s unique mental pattern.最后，由于每个人的脑波是不同的人士，使用“重要思想盔部队”将不得不接受训练，使计算机，拦截他们的潜命令，承认每个用户的独特的精神格局。 Both scientists pre-emptively deny expected charges that they’re literally messing with soldiers’ minds.双方科学家先发制人否认，预计收费，他们正在从字面上梅辛与官兵的头脑。 “A lot of people interpret wires coming out of the head as some sort of mind reading,” D’Zmura sighs. “很多人解释电线走出来的头部某种心态，读， ” -z mura感叹。 “But there’s no way you can get there from here,” Schmeisser insists. “但没有办法，你就能从这里， ”施迈瑟坚持。 “Not only do you have to be willing, but since your brain is unique, you have to train the system to read your mind — so it’s impossible to do it against someone’s will and without their active and sustained cooperation.” “不仅你要愿意，但由于你的大脑是独一无二的，你必须培养制度，以阅读您的想法-所以它不可能这样做对某人的意志，没有他们的积极和持续的合作” 。 And don’t overlook potential civilian benefits.不要忽略了潜在的平民的利益。 “How often have you been annoyed by people screaming into their cell phones?” Schmeisser asks. “如何，往往你烦恼的人尖叫到他们的手机？ ”施迈瑟要求。 “What if instead of their Bluetooth earpiece it was a Bluetooth headpiece and their mouth is shut and there’s blessed silence all around you?” Sounds like one of those rare slices of the US military budget even pacifists might support. “如果不是他们的蓝牙耳机这是一个蓝牙headpiece和他们的口是关闭，并有得天独厚的沉默，所有你身边？ ”听起来像一个罕见的片，美国的军事预算，甚至和平主义者可能会支持。 Have Your Say: Army scientists want to create ‘brain-wave helmet’ 有您这样说：军队的科学家要创建'脑波头盔' Please read our请阅读我们的
