There's a bit of a battle going on at the moment for Microsoft’s growing mastery over human brainwaves … and you’ll want to follow its progress.
It’s really focused on brain-computer interfaces, and it could compromise your privacy far sooner than you think.
The idea is to create innovative interfaces …
that can key on users' minds rather than a keyboard or touch screen, Microsoft hopes to one-up its peers in the future.
The idea is to tap into a computer user’s brain signals ... in ways that sort and categorize mental images – without the user knowing it.
Some people are concerned this research may lead to an invasion of privacy … as researchers appear to step closer to the dangerous zones of mind reading. What do you think?
What would a blue screen mean in this context?
