I'm thinking about a device that could measure electrical activity and have a transmitter able to send the data it produces on the range of at least half a meter. What is the smallest such a thing would need to be to still be able to do that?
Thomas Brooks
About the size of your dick. Technology has come far
Asher Watson
Depends. RFID chips can be the size of a grain of rice but they have to be powered "remotely" using radio waves.
ESP8266 is wifi and aint that big but it's a power hog. and they get hot.
the antenna size is the real issue but for less than a meter, surface mount antennas are fine. again, they are about the size of (or smaller than) a piece of rice.
wtf oyu trying you build?
Eli Clark
i mean... "electrical activity" is vague.
Elijah Gutierrez
I'm guessing OP just means a little galvanometer
Mason Foster
brain activity microscanner How hot exactly would it get? Too hot for an organism?
I know, for now I assume that basically any kind of activity should do
Matthew Edwards
Main problem with brain wave work/EEG is that anything useful requires REALLY clean power and REALLY well designed/expensive amplifiers to even get any signals above the noise floor.
and that usually depends on having what's called a "wet" electrode on the scalp/skin.
picking up eeg or other bioelectric signatures from a distance other than just amplifying the signals the body is producing ends up being closer to an MRI... and that means having a MASSIVE magnetic field...
which, again, isn't all that tiny, or cheap (or safe, honestly, unless you're careful)
Mason Murphy
Now, if that shit's implanted, different story... you'd still probably need a decent amp, power supply and radio that can send however much data you need as fast as you need
William Bennett
I know this stuff about EEG, but remember that this is partly due to skull and a fuckload of tissue guarding the access to the braincells. Yes, what I'm thinking of would be more similar to fMRI, but I don't get why would you think it would need to involve any serious magnetic fields in the form I'm proposing.
I was thinking about inserting a fuckton of microtransmitters into the bloodstream, letting them take places over the whole brain and measure (even if with low accuracy) the activity of the deeper brain parts
Juan Turner
Hang on don't go anywhere I'll do the calculation for you
Carter Bennett
ok, I'm waiting
Josiah Adams
Ok i think i got it
Jeremiah Fisher
Micro transmitters into the brain? Now you are just talking nonsense. MRI is definitely what you are thinking about... and that using reactive fluid in the blood. It would be safer to just cut open a brain and put sensors down in there.
Oliver Rodriguez
I'm listening...
Jacob Perez
If i did it right its at least 2.7
Jonathan Powell
most of the big discoveries came out of ideas considered nonsensical at their time. I want it done without large devices, able to measure brain activity in real life and real time.
No, it's not MRI I have in mind. I want robots telling me what is going on where.
2.7 of what?
Jaxon Martin
2.7 of the radius
Evan Martinez
but radius of what?
Adam Barnes
Well then you need to start studying nanobots. >Nano batteries >Nano transmitter >Nano EEG sensors You are right, it will probably be a reality one day You have some major hurdles first.
Noah Rodriguez
That rice grain.
Josiah Long
Ah another "genius" that is already proposing shit we've been working on and figuring out for years. Welcome to nano (and smaller) technology, son.
Leo Bell
I'm just the idea guy. Robots are to boring to me to ever consider majoring in a related field. I just want to know whether my current Idea has at least a slight chance of coming true with the use of today's technology
way too big then. How did you even come to this conclusion?
hello
Joseph Bennett
let's not make the ones in OP's pic, don't want nothing in my bellybutton.
Zachary Foster
> (You)
I'm not the one you talked to, was just kidding.
Kayden Mitchell
you're going to help us whether you want it or not, Mr. user
Brayden Miller
Everyone is an idea guy... nano robotics is exactly what you are talking about. but you are too disinterested. A better use of time would be finding a much more efficient battery to power the future.
Luis Ortiz
My question is, who the fuck is going to let you do this? Or are you going to do animal/self trials?
Ayden Flores
One thing I've learned in life is that everyone is an "ideas guy", get to the back of the line behind all the people that can actually do shit like the programmers, physicists, engineers, mathematicians, etc etc.
Christian Powell
fuck better future, I just want to learn how the brain works
that's the biggest problem, that's right. I would certainly volunteer to be the subject for this if they were to let me. Animal trials aren't out of the question either
no. I have one life and it will either be fun or it won't be at all
Lucas Flores
You'll never learn how the brain works. What do you even do for a living/what qualifications do you even have?
