could help people with disabilities send commands to machines Recently two researchers Jose Milan and Michele Tavella from the Federal Polytechnic school in Lausanne Switzerland demonstrated 展示 a small robotic wheelchair directed by a person s thoughts In the laboratory Tavella operated the wheelchair just by thinking about moving his left or right band He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts our brain has billions of nerve ceils These send signals through the spinal cord 脊髓 to the muscles to give us the ability to move But spinal cord injuries or other conditions can prevent these weak electrical signals from reaching the muscles Tavella says Our system allows disabled people to communicate with external world and also to control devices The researchers designed a special cap for the user This head cover picks up the signals from the scalp 头皮 and sends them to a computer The computer interprets the signals and commands the motorized wheelchair The wheelchair also has two cameras that identify objects in its path They help the computer react to commands from the brain Prof Milan the team leader says scientists keep improving the computer software that interprets brain signals and turns them into simple commands The practical possibilities that BCI technology offers to disabled people can be grouped in two categories communication and controlling devices One example is this wheelchair He says his team has set two goals One is testing with real patients so as to prove that this is a technology they can benefit from And the other is to guarantee that they can use the technology over long periods of time A help to update computer systems B link the human brain with computers C help the disabled to recover D control a person s thoughts 72 How did Tavella operate the wheelchair in the laboratory A By controlling his muscles B By talking to the machine 用心 爱心 专心 2 C By moving his hand D By using his mind 73 Which of the following shows the path of the signals described in Paragraph 5 A scalp computer cap wheelchair B computer cap scalp wheelchair C scalp cap computer wheelchair D cap computer scalp wheelchair 74 The team will test with real patients to A make profits from them B prove the technology useful to them C make them live longer D learn about their physical condition 75 Which of the following would be the best title for the text A Switzerland the BCI Research Center B New Findings About How the Human Brain Works C BCI Could Mean More Freedom for the Disabled D Robotic Vehicles Could Help to Cure Brain Injuries 解析 71 75 BDCBC 语篇解读 本文是一则新闻报道 介绍了 Brain computer interface BCI 技术的发明 原理和对残疾人带来的益处 71 B 细节理解题 从第一段第一句话可知 72 D 细节理解题 见第二段 Tavella operated the wheelchair just by
