Surely iCrap has already patented this possibility.....

obviously this is a long way from been an actual product that people would be interested in.

But the possibilities are almost endless.

Imagine office or IDE environments where the software formats and fills boilerplate stuff based on thoughts from the back of your mind as you think about the "big picture"... by the time you are done thinking and are ready to get to work, half of it if not more is already done.

Of course, that degree of brain-to-computer interface would likely require implant chips - an external harness would likely lack the bandwidth, SNR, resolution and interface point count to achieve it.

It will probably take 30-50 years to get there.

I hate to think that someone was paid for this.
