TOKYO (AFP) - Japanese researchers say they have found a way to let people stroll through the virtual world of Second Life using their own imagination, in a development that could help paralysis patients.
Previous studies have shown people can move computer cursors through brain waves, but the Japanese team says it is the first to apply the technology to an Internet virtual world.
The technology "would enable people suffering paralysis to communicate with others or do business through chatting and shopping in a virtual world," said Junichi Ushiba, associate professor at Keio Univesity's rehabilitation centre.
Second Life is an increasingly popular virtual world in which people -- and animals -- are represented by animated avatars and can do everything from social activities to shopping.
Ushiba said Second Life could motivate patients with severe paralysis, who are often too depressed to undergo rehabilitation.
"If they can see with their own eyes their characters moving around, it could reinvigorate their brain activity and restore some functions," he said.
Under the technology, a person wearing head gear embedded with electrodes, which analyse brain waves in the cerebral motor cortex, would be able to move a Second Life character forward by thinking he or she is walking.
Imagining movement with the right or left hand would make the character turn accordingly in the same direction.
Researchers have previously put similar technology to work to scan brain waves to control objects such as computer cursors and electrical gears.
In the Keio University laboratory, the team has designed artificial arms that operate by reading brain waves, although none is known to be commercially available yet.
Ushiba said the technology could help people undergoing neuro-rehabilitation by stimulating brain activity.
Traditionally, "if a stroke leaves a man's right hand paralysed, he has been encouraged to use his left hand instead," Ushiba said.
"More recently, however, it has come to light that the paralysed hand would start moving better if you try to use it," Ushiba said, noting that attempts to use a numb hand increase brain activity.
The team next plans to test the technology on actual paralysis patients to see how they respond to the virtual world.

Ooooh, that's pretty cool.
When can we play FPS in Virtual Reality?
Even better... when will Virtual Reality have higher resolution than real life? LOL

Hmmm and FPS in virtual reality... I do believe that is called one of two things, war and lazer tag.

Similarly (though not as cool), this guy rigged a camera so people could watch themselves in the third person in the real world:

Look at the threads around this one; not exactly the best environment for it. Interesting stuff, still.

I saw "Second Life" in the original post and immediately filed this thread under "probably crap".

You ever "played" Second Life? SL is not really something any serious innovator should want to associate themselves with. SL itself is FAR from cutting edge, this is like putting a spoiler, hood scoop, racing stripes and a cherrybomb muffler on an '88 Hyundai Excel.

I posted this cause of not Second Life but helping people with paralytic prob also with the next generation of games.
How stupid for somebody to judge a book by its first sentence!

The fact that these people are using Second Life as a testing ground for their technology makes them look bad IMO. Better to make their own barebones virtual world to demonstrate their technology.

They're already spending money. If they need more to create their own virtual testing ground, then they should really wait until they have the scratch to get that done.

OI-812, I don't really understand the hell you proving here?
1. That Helping Paralytic People is dumb cause they use 2nd Life for Testng?
2. The Upcoming Next Generation of Gaming sux cause using 2nd Life?
3. Or you'r just too dumb to understand the whole article cause it contains 2nd Life?
Which One !?
And I thnk it will save more time and money if they just use 2nd Life.
Hello!, it is so trivial calling something crap cause of a game, were talking about the Virtual World Gaming!
This will not just entertain people but also help PARALITIC PEOPLE!

Sound like psycommu system to me. Would be great if they can pull that off though.

Screw this, helping paralytic people is all fine and good.
But I want gaming to go to other species.
When are they going to make gaming reach Penguins?
