Hackers have found a way to control Siri with brainwaves. According to them there is no need to utter to issue a command to Siri. You ask Siri to perform different functions for you simply by thinking out the commands.
This is accomplished by hooking up ECG pads to the user, collecting their brain waves and translating them into synthesized speech, which in turn is transmitted through the 3.5mm headphone jack and will be recognized by Siri as a command.
1. ECG pads provide raw skin conductivity / electrical activity as analogue data (0-5v).At the moment this project is under development. It is yet not portable because it requires Arduino board and a MacBook. But the guys at Project Black Mirror are working hard to convert into a useable product. You can read the more details about this project on the official Project Black Mirror page.
2. This is plugged into the Arduino board via 4 analogue inputs (no activity = 0v, high activity = 5v).
3. The Arduino has a program burnt to it’s EPROM chip that filters the signals.
4. Josh trained the program by thinking of the main Siri commands (“Call”, “Set”, “Diary” etc.) one at a time and the program where we captured the signature brain patterns they produce.
5. The program can detect the signature patterns that indicate a certain word is being thought of. The program will then wait for a natural ‘release’ in brain waves and assume the chain of commands is now complete and action is required.
6. The series of commands are fed to a SpeakJet speech synthesiser chip
7. The audio output of which simply plugs into the iPhone’s microphone jack.
