Your new Human-Human Interface is ready with all of the
Fatigue
materials you'll need to connect yourself with another person.
(/experiments/fatigue)
It comes with an Arduino microcontroller (it's like a small,
easily programmable computer), already programmed to
facilitate your newfound dreams of power. Plugged onto the
Arduino is our Muscle Spikershield, which lets the Arduino
understand the signals coming out of your body. With this you
can see the electricity in your muscles as they move, but more
importantly, use them as a signal to turn on the stimulator.
The Controlled:

The sensation of totally losing free will can be a little weird at

rst, so just relax.

You'll be hooked up to the all-important TENS stimulation

device, which harmlessly delivers electricity to your arm's
nerves. The other person, the Controller, will be using the
electrical signals from their voluntary muscle movement as a
signal to turn on the stimulator. When this happens, your
nerves will interpret the electricity as a "contract" signal, and
tell your arm to ex.

With all this, you're ready for fun and educational neuroscience
experiments for students, kids, and adults.
