Spiral brain-computer interface slips into ear canal with no loss of hearing

A multi-institutional team of engineers in China has developed a new type of brain-computer interface (BCI) that can be easily slipped in and out of the ear canal. In their project, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group set out to design and build a new kind of BCI that is less invasive than existing devices.

research team suggests development of applications that convert full thoughts into text, controlling objects in real and virtual worlds—and even perhaps augmented memory.

    I think when they say the scientists envision being able to convert full thoughts to text, that’s more like people 100 years ago saying they envision us having flying cars today. were no where near either of those things.

    We have flying cars. They’re called helicopters.  Also another reason we don’t have “flying cars” is that if your engine breaks down you die.

      Also, can you imagine the quality of drivers that are currently on the road, in the air? How do you control the traffic?
