this is the brain to vehicle research centre. telepathic driving, but this headset is measuring my real—time brain activity. the idea is that one day it will predict what i'm about to do just before i do it. there have been experiments which have shown that long before we realise that we have made a decision, our brain has started making the decision. there's electrical activity in our brains about 1.5 seconds before we realise we've conducted an act of free will. it means that if you're a particularly bad driver, the car can begin to react as soon as your brain registers that you want to turn or to brake, but before your hands or your feet actually make the move. on tight corners like these, it means that your car may one day smooth out your late reactions, and make you feel a better driver than you actually are. now, the computer can't actually tell what movement you want to make, all it can detect is activity in your motor cortex, the part of the brain associated with movement. the car's sensors will then check for bends in th
