Will we soon be able to control our sex toys with our mind? Brian Sloan, inventor of Autoblow, is on the case and has released a short film that illustrates what may soon be possible.
Sloan commissioned a project to use a brain computer interface (BCI) to control the Autoblow AI+ using brainwaves. The study, conducted by neurotechnology scientists – which Sloan says chose who to remain anonymous due to possible negative career implications of working in the field of human sexuality – demonstrated brainwave control of four sex toy actions: starting the machine’s stroking action, stroking slower or faster, and initiating the ‘finish me’ function that selects the AI mode at the fastest speed.
Test subjects wore EEG headsets to train a deep neural network to detect brainwaves that related to intended Autoblow commands. Subjects mapped thoughts of moving each of their arms and legs to each of the four Autoblow functions, and an Autoblow connected to Wi-Fi on a nearby table activated in response to commands, with a graphical interface lighting up when each thought command was received.
“Until now we’ve only controlled sex toys using buttons and dials which is 100-year-old technology,” said Sloan. “Thinking yourself or someone else to orgasm will transcend the normal human experience, giving us a completely new sexual ability. As the Autoblow and other sexual devices can connect to Wi-Fi, in the future this technology can work equally well for an individual or for any number of individuals linked together by the internet anywhere in the world. And even more exciting is the possibility of giving people who cannot move their body parts a thought-controlled outlet for sexual autonomy.”
