Since the 1970s, scientists have been arching for ways to link the brain with computers. Brain-computer interface(BCI) technology could help people with disabilities nd commands to machines.
Recently, two rearchers, Jo Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic
school in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated高净值（展示）a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person’s thoughts.
In the laboratory, Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band. He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
“our brain has billions of nerve ceils. The nd signals through the spinal cord （脊髓）to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent the weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles,” Tavella says. “Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices.”
The rearchers designed a special cap for the ur. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(头皮) and nds them to a computer. The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the computer react to commands from the brain.

Prof. Milan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories: communication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.”
He says his team has t two goals. One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can u the technology over long periods of time.
