As 2017 comes to a close, it's time to reflect on the most futuristic breakthroughs and developments of the past year. Here are 15 predictions that came true in 2017. 2017年已经过去,现在来总结过去一年中最具前瞻性和影响力的重大发现和成果正是时候。下面就一起来看看2017年里那些已成为现实的15个预言吧。 1. Technologically-assisted telepathy was successfully demonstrated in humans 1. 心灵感应 For the first time ever, two humans exchanged thoughts via mind-to-mind communication. 2017年人类第一次实现了通过心对心的交流来交换想法的梦想。 Remarkably, the system is completely non-invasive. By using internet-linked electroencephalogram (EEG) and robot-assisted image-guided transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) technologies, an international team of researchers were able to get two subjects —one in India and one in France — to mentally transmit the words "hola" and "ciao." 这套心灵感应系统完全是非侵入式的。通过使用联网式脑电图以及机器人辅助成像的经颅骨磁力刺激法技术,这个国际合作研究团队实现了让两个分别在印度和法国的人在心里交换了单词“hola”和“ciao”。 And in a similar breakthrough, a different team developed a system that allowed a human subject to control the movements of another person. The University of Washington researchers showcased the technology by having participants collaborate on a computer game where a "sender" sent mental instructions to a "receiver" to control their hand movements. |
