BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE

  A brain–computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain–machine interface (BMI), is a direct communication pathway between the brain and an external device.It is a direct communication path between a either accept command from the brain or send signals to it.Two way BCI  would allow Brain and external devices to exchange information in both directionsthe word brain means the brain or nervous system of an organic life form rather than the mind. Computer means any processing or computational device, from simple circuits to silicon chips.Research on BCIs began in the 1970s, but it wasn’t until the mid-1990s that the first working experimental implants in humans appeared.

XM25 Counter Defilade Target Engagement System (i.e. The Smart Bullet)



The XM25, currently under development for the U.S. military by Alliant Tech systems, allows soldiers to measure the distance to a target using a laser range finder, dials in exactly where the bullet should explode (over or past walls, the corner of buildings) at precise distances. At a cost of $30/round, the bullets are equipped with microchips capable of registering distance according to the number of times they’ve rotated.
