Hello and welcome to my blog of discovery. Here I will be discussing my passion project for my 2018-2019 English class. Right now you’r probably thinking what’s a passion project well it’s simple. A passion project is something that a person decides that they want to learn more about and they design a project based around it.
The purpose of my project is to show people that by using the brains normal functions we can create prognostics that have feeling. The idea came to me from one of my favorite animated shows that I watch. I this program they use a headset that utilizes the brain to allow the people to play in a video game where they can feel everything. This led me to think how I could apply that concept to real life and so my passion project was born. I deiced that there was one thing that this could really benefit and that is amputees. why you ask, well that is because when your limb is removed there is a possibility that the nerves are still alive and that they still work. However, since they can’t just attach a new arm to a person they give them a prognostic.
A prosthetic is a fake body part that looks life like and serves the same function as the real thing. In recent years however they have started to incorporate robotic elements to the prognostics so that they move more easily,but there’s still no feeling. My solution to this problem is to take a modern day BCI or Brian computer interface and revise it so that it will allow the robots to send data back to the brain that control sensory data. I still have lot’s of research to do so i’d better get back to it check in next time to learn more about the brains functionality.
