Brainputer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send mands to machines. Recently, two researchers. Jose Millan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic School in Lausanne, Switzerland, demonstrated(展示) a small robotic wheelchair by a person’s thoughts. “Our brain has billions of nerve cells. These send signals through the spinal cord(脊髓 ) to the muscles to give us the ability to move. But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles .” Tavella says. “our system allows disabled people to municate with external world and also to control devices.” The researchers designed a special cap for the user. This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp(頭皮 )and sends them to a puter. The puter interprets the signals and mands the motorized wheelchair. The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path. They help the puter react to mands from the brain. Prof. Millan, the team leader, says scientists keep improving the puter software that brain signals and turns them into simple mands. “The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories, munication, and controlling devices. One example is this wheelchair.” He says his learn set two goals .One is testing with real patients, so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from. And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time. 71. BCI is techoology that can . A. help to update puter systems B. link the human brain with puter C. help the disabled to recover a person’s thoughts 72. How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory? controlling his muscles. talking to the machine moving his hand. using his mind. 73. Which of following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5? →puter→cap→whcclchair B. puter→cap→scalp→whcclchair C. scalp→cap→puter→whcclchair D. cap→puter→scalp→whcclchair 74. The team will test with real patients to _______ A. make profits from them B. prove the technology useful to them C. make them live longer D. learn about their physical condition 75. Which of the following would be the best title for the test? A. Switzerland, the BCI Research Center B. New Findings About How the Hungry Brain Works C. BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled D.
