Default brain research (was Looking for maps)

In 1970-1972, working on my Masters, I researched and developed a
system that read brain waves and was able to get a predictable and
useful output from them.

My ultimate objective was to tie the pilot to a computer and have the
computer fly the airplane. I researched the delay from a decision
until a body movement took place and using brain waves to a computer I
could reduce the decision to aircraft action time and beat the manual
control of flight of bird.

Subject is too long to try to cover in this group.


I read about research done some time ago in the military along the same lines, but whose objective was to find errors. It turns out that if a pilot is about to make a mistake, part of his brain knows it before he actually makes the mistake (and he makes it anyway). This was supposed to be used to warn a pilot before he screws up.

Have you heard about this?
