MODERATORS
Article title is misleading. This is just a fancy EEG that doesn’t need to be surgically implanted.
It can only”turn thoughts into text” if the user /recipient spends weeks/months training to “think loudly” enough for their words to be detectable in their brainwaves and translated by a machine like this
I think it’s really important for us to be careful of the misuse and abuse of BCIs, but the technology isn’t far enough yet for us to be worried about what you’ve described
Ah fuck, I notice I fall back to reddit behavior of only reading titles. Thanks for clarifying (and for making me aware of my dangerous media usage).
