John Lemay and George Green Phd of Cerebotix introduced the world to their brainwave controlled blimp at the AAPB 2009 meeting in New Mexico.
Dr. George H. Green and John LeMay, MFT, have been collaborating in the area of brainwave biofeedback for several years. About a year and a half ago Cerebotix focused on using the brainwaves monitored in biofeedback to move a remote object. After hundreds of hours of development, initial test subjects were able to successfully loft a remote controlled device in the Cerebotix corporate office. Since that time, countless refinements have been made, and the initial clinical results have been excellent.
In order to control a remote object, brainwaves are measured through five electrodes placed on the head. The resulting brainwave impulses are sent to a computer where they are processed through proprietary Cerebotix algorithms into three live data streams. These data streams are converted into radio frequency signals that are then transmitted to a wireless receiver mounted on a helium-filled Mylar balloon that has been ballasted to be slightly heavier than the surrounding air. As the person’s brainwaves become increasingly organized, the Remote Controlled Object (RCO) will develop enough power to activate a propeller, ascend and start to fly. The device is entirely under the control of the individual’s brainwaves. There are no additional controls in place whatsoever. The RCO is lifting off and flying literally 100% under brain control. This is the first time in history that brain waves have been used successfully to move remote objects.
