Scientists are now able to remotely control the actions of other humans. The new brain-to-brain interface makes non-invasive remote control of motion possible. Watch a video of the device in action below.

Scientists at the University of Washington (UW) built the device.

P"Brain-computer interface is something people have been talking about for a long, long time," said Professor Chantel Prat, who helped conduct the experiment. "We plugged a brain into the most complex computer anyone has ever studied, and that is another brain."

Professor Rajesh Rao made the device. It involves an EEG skullcap that monitors the left motor cortex of the brain, which coordinates hand movement.

Wearing the black-and-green EEG cap, Rao moved his finger to fire a cannon in a video game...mentally. There was no physical movement.

And, across campus in the Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences, Andrea Stocco was wearing a purple skullcap that housed a transcranial magnetic stimulation coil. He rested his hand on a keyboard.

The magnetic coil activated a current at a place in his brain that controls fingers and the wrist. Stocco's hand twitched and hit the keyboard, much like a "nervous tic"

During four test sessions with five to ten transimssions each, the team got the brain-to-brain signal to work successfully a whopping 90 percent of the time.

The team says the technology can't be carried out against another person's will.

"I think some people will be unnerved by this because they will overestimate the technology," Prat said. "There's no possible way the technology that we have could be used on a person unknowingly or without their willing participation."

The brain-to-brain networking discovery may open up a whole new field, the UW researchers hope.

"It was both exciting and eerie to watch an imagined action from my brain get translated into actual action by another brain," Rao said. "This was basically a one-way flow of information from my brain to his. The next step is having a more equitable two-way conversation directly between the two brains."
