Week 31 Story 62 -'Facebook team working on brain-powered technology'


'Facebook team working on brain-powered technology'

  • Facebook says it is working on technology to allow us to control computers directly with our brains
  • It is developing “silent speech” software to allow people to type at a rate of 100 words per minute, it says
  • With these announcements, Facebook is envisioning technology that is far in advance of anything currently possible
There are already external brain-control technologies on the market, but these are simplistic in comparison. Electroencephalogram tech - known as EEG - can monitor electric impulses in the brain, but only for very basic, structured output - such as moving a dot up or down a computer screen.
