While seeking articles from the neuroscience literature that speak directly to the generation of brain waves by the immaterial mind, I am posting summaries of some articles that address applications of brain-computer interface (BCI) technology. ‘Mind-Reading’ Technology Allows Paralyzed Man to Rapidly Text is an article discussed by Amy Norton in WebMD, May 12, 2021.
In this technological application “tiny chips are implanted in movement-related areas of the brain, where they tap into electrical activity in cells. When a person imagines [Italics added] executing a movement, the relevant brain cells start firing. Those electrical signals are then transmitted by wires to a computer, where they are “decoded” by sophisticated algorithms and translated into action, allowing people to control assistive devices with their own mind power.”
The “cells” are neurons, and the electrical activity consists of the spike trains of action potentials generated within and transmitted across the synapses of coherent, synchronized neural networks explained in my blogs. That the signals are “decoded” signifies that the frequencies and amplitudes of the neural impulses are transmitting actualized codes relevant to the specific intended motor action. It is remarkable that it is now possible for neuroscientists to access nerve impulses generated by the imagined objectives of a subject’s mind, by “mind” power according to the author. How the immaterial mind generates the neural impulses is the subject of my research, and in my blogs I have presented evidence suggesting that it is via wave forms transmitted to and through synapses via quantum tunneling.
Researchers at Stanford University asked a man with full-body paralysis to imagine handwriting utilizing BCI technology. This approach allowed him to “churn out text at a rate of roughly 18 words per minute, . . . nearly on par with the typical smartphone user.” Dr. Jaimie Henderson, a co-senior researcher and professor of neurosurgery at Stanford, “implanted two microchips in the man’s motor cortex, an area in the brain’s outermost layer that governs voluntary movement. . . . The microchip had electrodes that sensed the encoded signals from neurons involved in moving the hand. The computer algorithms utilized by the investigators decoded [Italics added] the mental handwriting codes. The curves and speed changes resulting from visualizing handwriting provided a “rich signal” that was relatively easy to decode using their algorithms”.
I trust that you can appreciate the technology that is now available to neuroscientists. It promises to be of great value to handicapped patients who are unable to speak but can still think, imagine and dream! More and more we are seeing evidence for the generation by the immaterial mind of Man of wave forms that interact with the physical brain, a true dualist interaction.
