She has had to tiny electronic probes set on the surface of her left motor cortex, enabling her to transmit neurosignals to devices programmed to read the signals. Three years ago, she learned to control a pair of prosthetic arms using only her mind. Now, she's piloting jet fighter simulators, as well as a simulator for the common, ordinary, every day Cessna single-engine. Nothing short of amazing.Paralyzed woman pilots F-35 fighter jet simulator using mind control
It reads like something out of a sci-fi flick, but new technology created by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has recently enabled a paralyzed woman to fly an F-35 fighter jet and a single-engine Cessna in a simulator using only her mind. Speaking in Washington, DC at the recent New America Foundation’s Future of War forum on February 24th, DARPA Director Arati Prabhakar revealed to the crowd that 55 year-old Jan Scheuermann, who has suffered paralysis since 2003 due to a neurodegenerative condition, was able to fly a Joint Strike Fighter simulator without the use of any joystick or handheld device.
