For the first time in history (and ahead of another initiative of Elon Musk, Neural Lace Neuralink), a team of biomedical engineers from the University of Witwatersrandn in Johannesburg (South Africa) has managed to connect a human brain to the Internet in real time . This innovative project is known as 'Brainternet' and in essence transmits brain waves to the Internet, turning the brain into a node of the Internet of Things (Internet of Things or IoT) on the World Wide Web.
"Brainternet a new frontier in brain-computer interface systems There is a lack of easily understandable data about how a human brain works and processes information This system tries to simplify a person's understanding of their own brain and brain of others through the continuous monitoring of brain activity, as well as allowing a certain interactivity, in essence, simplifying a person's understanding of their own brain and the brain of others, "explains Adam Pantanowitz, project leader.
