Designed and built in Russia, the device is also able to perform electroencephalographic monitoring of the electrical activity of the brain, measuring bioelectric potential during the movement of the eyes, photopletismographic monitoring, and measuring skin temperature.

But what is the real purpose of Balalaika? To create a nerve interface that enables the transfer of brain signals from human beings to a mechanical device like an exotic, chariot or computer game, reports “Sputnik International” Transmission Periscope.

Scientists borrowed the name Balalaika ʹ the typical wood belt instrument of the Russian triangle, from the writer Vadim Panov's version of Enklavave.

Speaking of news agency “RIA Novosti” of Russia, project leader Natalia Shusharina noted that unlike Panov's novels, their equipment has no triangular shape. However, they chose the name "Balaika" for its potential to become a popular brand.

Using Balalaika, users can play computer games without hands, operating in a cart. If a disabled person does not feel good about going to a clinic for testing and monitoring, he or she can do so from home.

The multi-major characteristics of Balalaika instruments have allowed researchers to confirm that the simultaneous use of electronics, electromagnetic and photopletismographic signals significantly improves accuracy in interpreting planned physical activity based on brain signals./Periscopi/
