PROXIMITY electroencephalography, read thoughts
Non-contact EEG was developed by experts from the Centre for Physical Electronics of the University of Sussex, EEG records using a system of sensors that register the slightest changes in the electromagnetic field generated by the brain. According to its creators, the device accurately reproduces the electrophysiological images of individual brain anatomy, not yielding in this classic #39;electrode#39; electroencephalography.
#39;The possibilities offered by contactless electroencephalography, are almost limitless, - the#39; father #39;of the new encephalograph, Professor Terry Clark. - With it, doctors can monitor the status of patients without resorting to special complex diagnostic procedures, and real-time control of effects of drugs. And for ordinary citizens contactless electroencephalography is nothing more than a primitive version of #39;mind reading#39;.
By the way, a few months ago, this same research group has developed a contactless ECG, recording without the help of the electrodes the electrical activity of the heart.
