Next Gen Flight Simulators To Use Advanced Brain Mapping - Gizmo Watch | Twine - http://www.twine.com/item...
"Aviation safety will get a huge fillip if researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics get these simulation experiments up to speed. Presently they are embarking upon a project called the SUPRA which is an acronym for Simulation of Upset Recovery in Aviation. During this three year simulation project, researchers will judge how pilots react to critical manoeuvres in dangerous situations. By studying how the pilots’ brains react to such situation, the researchers will develop simulation packages that will help pilots practice how to handle such situations beforehand. If they do manage to achieve this, aviation safety will receive a major boost with better trained pilots flying the next generation of high performance aircraft." - Thomas Page

At weekends, Lürling would enjoy watching Formula 1 on television with his friends while playing driving games on a computer console. "We said, hey, wouldn't it be great if we could bring the two together," he recalls, "so we can race against real F1 drivers and not against the computer?" Lürling had a vision of how this could work. Modern F1 cars are fitted with hundreds of sensors that amass data on key parameters, such as throttle, braking and acceleration, and then send them back to the pits. In essence, these telemetry systems provide virtual duplicates of the cars, which could potentially be forwarded in real time to viewers' consoles via the internet. The only red flag was the most important parameter of all: the cars' positions. Although each car is fitted with a GPS tracker, these are often only accurate to 15 metres, which would be useless for gaming. - Thomas Page
