Controlling Computers With Your Brain
from the oh,-the-power... dept
The latest news concerning the ability to control a computer directly from your brain waves. It's initially being tested for work with people who are disabled, but (of course) there are plenty of possibilities as to where this could go. Anyway, did anyone else get chills down their spine and hear evil laughter in the background when they read the quote: "We're beginning to understand brain activity. We can listen in on it. We can intercept it. We can interpret it." I just hope they use these new found abilities for good, instead of evil.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
