第2962期:Thoughts can control devices

This is what your brainwaves look like at any given moment. To the untrained eye, it's just a jumble of lines.这就是你大脑在任何时刻的脑电波形态。在外行人看来，这不过是一堆杂乱无章的线条。For AJ Keller and Alex Castillo, it's a treasure trove of data.对AJ·凯勒和亚历克斯·卡斯蒂略来说，这是一个数据宝库。The pair have created Notion, a 900-dollar wearable device that captures and processes brainwave signals, transforming thoughts into action.两人共同研发了Notion这款价值900美元的可穿戴设备，它能捕捉并处理脑电波信号，将思维转化为行动。There are eight sensors that are imaging the brain 250 times a second.有八个感应器每秒对大脑进行250次成像。All of that is instantaneously being processed on the actual headset. Notion is a so-called brain computer.所有这些数据都会在头戴设备上即时处理。Notion是一种所谓的脑机。So traditionally brain computer interfaces, they relay their raw data to a computer that would receive this data, would make sense out of it, and then the computer will communicate with any end device.传统上脑机接口会将原始数据传输到一台计算机，这台计算机接收这些数据，对其进行解读，然后计算机再与任何终端设备进行通信。The Notion is the first autonomous device that has enough computing power to be able to autonomously communicate with any device, whether that is your computer, whether that is a drone.Notion是首款具备足够算力的自主设备，能够与任何设备自主通信，无论是你的电脑还是无人机。Anything your computer can control, Notion can control. Why lift a finger to scroll down when you can do it with your thoughts?你的电脑能控制的任何东西，Notion都能控制。既然动动念头就能向下滚动，何必亲自动手呢？If you're thinking of a motor base movement, such as pinching your left hand, Notion is able to detect it, and you're able to map that to a computer command.如果你在思考一个基础运动，比如捏左手，Notion能够检测到它，你可以将其映射为计算机指令。Do you feel like a superhero? Absolutely. But this superhero power takes focus and concentration. To that end, Notion provides users with an attention score.你觉得自己像个超级英雄吗？当然。但这份超能力需要专注与投入。为此，Notion为用户提供了注意力评分功能。When you're really focused and you're in the zone, that number increases.当你全神贯注并进入状态时，这个数字就会增加。The developers say it can even help them measure and improve productivity.开发人员说，这甚至可以帮助他们衡量和提高生产力。We know that there are times when we lose focus programming. We want a tool that allows us to understand when and where we're writing our best code.我们知道有时编程会分心。我们想要一个工具，能让我们了解自己在何时何地写出了最好的代码。And in a world full of distractions, being able to focus truly is a superpower.在这个充满干扰的世界里，能够专注确实是一种超能力。
