"...you could look inside and see what's on my mind." The musician
Dave Matthews wrote these words, and it turns out, his lid could come
soon - if he wants it. A new experiment has found lightly implanted
electrodes placed on the surface of the brain can decode words from brain activity.
The Journal of Neural Engineering
recently published an article concerning this very interesting
technology. What make soon be more necessary for direct
thought-computer interfaces is a non-invasive method for gleaning such
information from our minds without penetrating the skull.
Decoding
brain activity may be more useful than advanced voice recognition
technology one day, and also become very essential military and law
enforcement tech. Imagine communicating with other personnel in a
squadron in the jungle without effort, and without making a sound.
Electric telepathy: a stealthy interface indeed.
