drone, controlled by brain signals, as demonstrated in Portugal

Technology, which allows you to control the UAV from the ground, using only brain waves of the person, has been demonstrated in Portugal, reports the BBC.



As noted in the company-developer - Tekever, this technology may in the short term be used for people with disabilities were able to control the aircraft. And in the long run will allow you to remotely fly even objects such as large cargo planes without having the presence on Board of the crew.

However, while aviation experts are skeptical about this method of control. They believe that the industrial application of the technology is too early yet as she is potentially unsafe.



Manage drone is carried out using electroencephalography (EEG) - the computer determines the activity in different parts of the brain and gives the drone appropriate commands. However, to control the device, everyone just will not work - this requires several months of training.

"We believe that people will be able to fly the aircraft as they perform daily tasks, such as walking or running," said Ricardo Mendes, chief operating officer Tekever.
