Intel will introduce a "telepathic interface" in 10 years
Many developments in the field of brain-computer interfaces have already gone beyond at least theory. And not yesterday . Next in line is the next step, which many fear and await with reverence: the implantation of chips right into the brain. That will allow you to control any "glands", whether PC or coffee maker, by the power of thought. It will happen in 2020. According to Intel engineers.
So far, scientists have been analyzing human brain activity and trying to create a basis for the future "telepathic interface." To do this, use the method of magnetic resonance imaging. It is necessary in order to see which areas of the human brain are more active than others in certain mental actions. Based on the data obtained, Intel's first plan to build a headset / helmet, and then create microchips for implantation in the brain.
Despite the fact that Intel doesn’t even have a ready-made prototype yet, company representatives are willing to share information about how great a “modernized person” will feel when they can control a computer by force of mind (type text, exchange messages, and maybe even paint). Great, of course. Only one thing confuses: why they didn’t buy any company in Intel that already has some work in this direction, but they do everything from scratch. Wait and see. ')
