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. （克林特被送往竊取飛機， natch ） ，但它不是作為十分牽強，因為您可能會認為：視頻遊戲玩家的急切心情，等待原油商業版本的腦電波技術-一個2 99美元的版本耳機從總部位於舊金山的e motiv系統-在夏季，到2 009年。 The Army doesn’t move quite as fast as gamers though.軍隊沒有移動相當快，雖然玩家。 The military’s vastly more sophisticated system may be a decade or two away from reality, let alone implementation.軍隊的很大更複雜的系統，可能是一個或兩個十年遠離現實，更遑論實施。 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.這個為期5年的合同，這批出上個月的聯盟，科學家從在加州大學爾灣，卡內基梅隆大學，馬里蘭大學，旨在“解碼活動在腦網絡” ，使一名士兵可能電台命令一個或許多同志思考的訊息，他希望繼電器和誰應該得到它。 Initially, the recipients would most likely hear transmissions rendered by a robotic voice via earphones.最初，受助人最有可能聽到的傳輸提供了機器人的聲音，通過耳機。 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.但科學家們最終希望能提供一個版本，其中命令呈現在發言者的聲音和顯示發言者的距離和方向，從聽眾。 “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. “有一名士兵獲得溝通能力，沒有任何公然運動，將寶貴的，無論是在戰場上，以及在戰鬥中傷亡的照顧， ”軍方說，在去年的合同邀約。 “It would provide a revolutionary technology for silent communication and orientation that is inherently immune to external environmental sound and light.” “這將提供一個革命性技術，為沉默的溝通和方向，這是內在的免疫外部環境聲光” 。 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.關鍵的挑戰將是開發軟件，能夠針對語音相關的腦電波回升，由128傳感器陣列，最終將被安葬在一個頭盔。 Those sensors detect the minute electrical charges generated by nerve pathways in the brain when thinking occurs.這些傳感器檢測分鐘的電荷所產生的神經通路在大腦中時，思想發生。 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.該傳感器將產生一個腦電圖-混亂的一堆s quiggles就在計算機屏幕上-即科學家將研究，以找出那些重要的溝通。 “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. “我們認為，我們可以培養計算機了解這些squiggles到一點，就是他們可以閱讀起飛命令你的大腦發出你的嘴和嘴唇， ”施邁瑟說。 Unfortunately, it’s not a matter of finding the single right squiggle.不幸的是，它不是一個問題只是尋求單一的權利， squiggle 。 “There’s no golden neuron that’s talking,” he says. “沒有黃金神經元認為，在討論的， ”他說。 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.博士投給zmura加州-爾灣，首席科學家對項目的說，他的任務是類似的尋找合適的strands就一盤充滿麵食。 “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. “你需要挑選出有關件意大利面， ”他說， “有時他們要四分五裂並重新重視別人” ，但與日益增加的計算能力的任務可以做，在真正的時間，他說。 Users also will have to be trained to think loudly.用戶還可以將須受訓認為大聲。 “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. “我們如何得到一個人認為，一些在自己的方式留下了非常強烈的信號，在腦電圖，我們可以閱讀過對背景噪音” ？ -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.最後，由於每個人的腦波是不同的人士，使用“重要思想盔部隊”將不得不接受訓練，使計算機，攔截他們的潛命令，承認每個用戶的獨特的精神格局。 Both scientists pre-emptively deny expected charges that they’re literally messing with soldiers’ minds.雙方科學家先發製人否認，預計收費，他們正在從字面上梅辛與官兵的頭腦。 “A lot of people interpret wires coming out of the head as some sort of mind reading,” D’Zmura sighs. “很多人解釋電線走出來的頭部某種心態，讀， ” -z mura感嘆。 “But there’s no way you can get there from here,” Schmeisser insists. “但沒有辦法，你就能從這裡， ”施邁瑟堅持。 “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.” “不僅你要願意，但由於你的大腦是獨一無二的，你必須培養制度，以閱讀您的想法-所以它不可能這樣做對某人的意志，沒有他們的積極和持續的合作” 。 And don’t overlook potential civilian benefits.不要忽略了潛在的平民的利益。 “How often have you been annoyed by people screaming into their cell phones?” Schmeisser asks. “如何，往往你煩惱的人尖叫到他們的手機？ ”施邁瑟要求。 “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. “如果不是他們的藍牙耳機這是一個藍牙headpiece和他們的口是關閉，並有得天獨厚的沉默，所有你身邊？ ”聽起來像一個罕見的片，美國的軍事預算，甚至和平主義者可能會支持。 Have Your Say: Army scientists want to create ‘brain-wave helmet’ 有您這樣說：軍隊的科學家要創建'腦波頭盔' Please read our請閱讀我們的
