"concerns about privacy"

Bingo. THIS is why no one except the army will use it...

Ok then, so why are they not making their CPU's Cheaper?

20 or 30 years from now this may be possible.. but i dont see this happening mainstream anytime soon.. and i dont really see this as a good thing..

I can see many uses for this technology, and it will be supported by many. For those concerned about privacy, there is always the option of taking off the mind reading helmet and putting on the tin foil helmet just in case. But there are more types of people around computers than people who can type +70 wpm. What about those without both hands or all fingers? If properly done, this will be awesome. Speech recognition will be a thing of the past. And I am very curious to use it in fact.

uh oh....my telepathic computer will download porn all day long...yours will too, but it will probably be gay midget porn

I can just picture being on the computer with the girl friend and your ex pops into your head and it spells out her name. Oopsy. Forget external forces stealing your ideas what about the ideas you don't want other people to see verbalized. Typing an email to a boss. The report(I want a twinkie) is attached(like a stage 5 clinger)below" Tragic!

Why not use this picture? Homer's Brain

 

[rubix_1011]

My $10 IQ 20 questions game already is eerily close to getting it right every time. They need to spend million/billions on this?

 

[unknown_13]

Not good.....

 

[CaptainBib]

I'm sure google already has a team working on how to beam ads straight in to your brain with this.

SkyTrix! The 2 will merge and completely dominate us :/

 

[hang-the-9]

What the HELL, every time I turn this mind reading PC on, all I get is porn web sites. Must be broken.

 

[seanma0314]

I can see it now, writing an email longer than 2 minutes and suddenly boobs and other various sexual words randomly pop up

 

[Mr Pizza]

not good!

 

[djackson_dba]

May open up a whole new world for those that need prosthetics.

 

[nonxcarbonx]

im sure some folks wont "mind"

 

[rantoc]

Did Google pay for the research?! Think beer and you have 20 popups in a nanosecound about beer. No THX to adds (Beer on the other hand.... =))

 

[zak_mckraken]

What's the point of knowing precisely in which part of the brain the activity takes place? 99.9% of the reading will come from in the part of the brain that directs blood flow in the mid-section of my body! 😛

Even if this works at 1% of it's potential due to current technlogical limitations it still would be important for people with serious disabilities. Even though I'm not disabled myself I recognize the importance of said research in providing hope and accessibility to people that lead such challenging lives.

 

[Zenthar]

There is a full generation that will be getting "Device not found" errors 😛

 

[gnesterenko]

This is cool, but for a tech to catch on you gotta hit the early adopters - aka gamer enthusiasts. Meaning that instead of reading words, they need to refine on the OCZ NIA device and allow for mind-controlled gaming environments. MMORPGs may be too complex, but FPS games with simple commands like directions, turning, firing, jumping should be a walk in the park. Do it! Do it now!

Not good!

It would be nice for programmers: you think of an idea for a class, method, or whatever, and it writes the code for you. Then all you have to do is try to understand it, and fix the bugs 😀.
