The Experience of TED Today

Today, I watched a video which is about controlling someone’s arm with your brain, on TED.com. When I saw the title, I was confused and thought ‘Is that possible?’ I take that back in my mind. The TED talk shows are famous with the inspiration for the audiences so the information of the show wouldn’t be too fantasy. It might be possible. After that, I clicked on the video.

The talker of the show, Greg Gage explanted our brain can send the signal to our arms’ muscle so it can move. If we copy the same signal and send it to someone else’s arms’ muscle, it will have the same movement too. He found two volunteers who are a male and female, to try the experiment. He put two electro aids on each volunteer’s arm. Then, he connected their electro aid with his DIY tool. When the female one was moving her arm, the male one’s arm was moved!!! The result is amazing!!! This talk show inspired me to create some ideas and topics for my science fiction drawing. If I got the chance to make an animation, I want to create a story about what would happen in the future if human can control others in the society.
