Since the 1970s,scientists have been searching for ways to link the brain with computers.
Braincomputer interface (BCI) technology could help people with disabilities send commands
to machines.
Recently,two researchers,Jose Millan 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 hand.He could even talk as he watched the vehicle and guided it with his thoughts.
"Our brain has billions of nerve cells.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.Millan,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.

Along the river banks of the Amazon and the Orinoco there lives a bird that swims before
it can fly, flies like a fat chicken,eats green leaves, has the stomach of a cow and has claws
on its wings when young.They build their homes about 4.6 m above the river, an important
feature (特征) for the safety of the young.It is called the hoatzin.
In appearance, the birds of both sexes look very much alike with brown on the back
and cream and red on the underside.The head is small, with a large set of feathers on the
top,bright red eyes, and blue skin.Its nearest relatives are the common birds, cuckoos.Its
most striking feature, though, is only found in the young.
Baby hoatzins have a claw on the leading edge of each wing and another at the end of
each wing tip.Using these four claws,together with the beak(喙),they can climb about in the
bushes, looking very much like primitive birds must have done.The hoatzins, however, live
in the modern world.
During the drier months between December and March hoatzins fly about the forest in
groups of 20 to 30 birds, but in April,when the rainy season begins, they collect together in
smaller living units of two to seven birds for producing purposes.
When danger comes in the form of a snake or a monkey, the young hoatzins-maybe
three in one family-jump over the side and into the river.They swim about under the water
until it is safe to return and then, using their claws, lift themselves up through the branches
and get back home.When they have learned to fly they lose their claws and escape enemies
not by swimming but by flying off, in a slow and heavy way, to a neighbouring tree.

Humpback whales
Humpback whales are sometimes called performers of the ocean.This is because they can make impressive movements when they dive.The name “humpback”, which is the common name for this whale, refers to the typical curve shape the whale's back forms as it dives. Sometimes the humpback will dive with a fantastic movement known as a breach.During breaching the whale uses its powerful tail flukes to lift nearly twothirds of its body out of the water in a giant leap.A breach might also include a sideways twist with fins stretched out like wings, as the whale reaches the height of the breach. A humpback whale breathes air at the surface of the water through two blowholes which are located near the top of the head.It blows a double stream of water that can rise up to 4 metres above the water. The humpback has a small dorsal fin located towards the tail flukes about twothirds of the way down its back.Other distinguishing features include large pectoral fins, which may be up to a third of the body length, and unique black and white spots on the underside of the tail flukes.These markings are like finger prints: no two are the same. Humpback whales live in large groups.They communicate with each other through complex “songs”
