Paralyzed woman was able to control the F-35 fighter simulator
The 55-year-old paralyzed woman, Jan Scheuermann, managed to fully control the F-35 fighter simulator using special electrodes implanted in her brain. The flight simulator was connected to the woman’s “neural interface” and reprogrammed so that she did not have to learn the entire control system of the aircraft. Instead, Scheuerman imagined flying "as a whole", lowering and raising the "fighter", without the need to control his helm.
Fully paralyzed as a result of hereditary genetic disease, Scheuerman has been participating in military experiments since 2012. She was implanted in the brain with a special grid with 96 electrodes capable of reading electrical impulses from the brain areas responsible for the movement of the right arm. Scheuerman viewed the animation of the movement of this hand and mentally imagined that it was she who moves it. Researchers read the brain's neural impulses at this moment and correlated them with the movements of the robotic manipulator. As a result, the woman was able to "independently" eat chocolate:
Routine military pilot training on the simulator involves the use of the steering wheel and other controls that affect flight. Scheuermann did not undergo special technical training and could not “imagine” how exactly this or that lever would affect the position of the aircraft in space. That is why she "managed" the fighter as "one", imagining how he "falls" and "rises".

The use of neural interfaces in ordinary life has already gone beyond purely military or medical cases. For example, Emotiv Insight - a wireless headset that reads an electroencephalogram of the brain and converts this data into simple commands - scored $ 635,000 on Kickstarter instead of the stated $ 100,000.
More well-known video with the "terminator hand". Nigel Ekland can fry himself scrambled eggs:
Scientists from France and Japan are also developing software to control robots through a neural interface:
In 1982, in Hollywood, the fantastic feature film "The Fire Fox " (Firefox) was shot with Clint Eastwood in the title role. The film tells about the latest development of Soviet designers who created the prototype of the MiG-31. A special feature of the aircraft was its speed and the latest weapon control system, which was literally controlled by the pilot's “power of thought”. True, he had to think in Russian.
