Intendix, The Brain Computer Interface Goes Commercial
- chaosmachine 17y agoI'm patiently waiting for computer assisted telepathy to go commercial. Imagine a bluetooth headset that reads your brain waves, and lets you write SMS-like messages by thought. And when you receive an SMS, it reads it back into your ear.

- w1ntermute 17y agoThis is definitely the kind of thing tech should be focusing on, not developing yet another tactile input mechanism. The type of computer interaction described in the Otherland series, a "neural shunt" that intercepts the signals from the brain to motor neurons and from sensory neurons to the brain to create true VR, is the future.
- swombat 17y agoThis is certainly a step in the right direction, but EEG are not the way forward in this field, imho. The point of a brain-computer interface isn't to free your hands, or even to allow paralysed people to type, but to increase the bandwidth of communication (so you can interact a lot faster, whether through text or otherwise) and decrease the amount of attention required to use it (so you can use it while doing something else, without having to stop what you're doing to look at a keyboard).
