Most existing attempts to create an interface between the human brain and the computer does not mean surgery, but attempts to make bionic prostheses for paralyzed people to control the power of thought are taken for a long time. For the interaction of electronics and the human nervous system at this level require the implantation of the various body components , the effectiveness of such neural interface is not as high as we would like.
According to the publication Computerworld, the US agency DARPA is going to unite the efforts of developers and manufacturers of various components for microprocessors capable of establishing a fast enough and not loaded with noise neural interface. Implanted in the brains of soldiers microprocessors will be able to transfer them important information and send commands wirelessly. Existing interfaces of this type resemble slow old modems, with which people are trying to establish a link between two supercomputers. The capacity of neural interfaces must be enhanced, and at the same time learn to effectively separate the noise from the useful information.
The challenge for developers is not the easiest - in one part of the brain which is in contact with the microprocessor volume less than 1 cubic centimeter, there are more than a million neurons. The authors of the initiative want to learn how to set the address connection almost with each of the neurons. Intel experts predicted at the beginning of this decade, that by 2020 people will be able to give the mental command to the computer due to the presence neural interface.
