Want to become a writer, but in fact you too lazy to write? Do not worry, help coming scientists in the journal "The Limits of neurology" announced their latest study, which demonstrate creating words directly from brain waves.
They have achieved this by using electrodes were implanted in the brain due to the treatment of epilepsy. Using them in detecting brain waves, they gave seven patients to read a variety of texts, including the Kennedy speech, Hampton Damp, and Charmed.
The software recognized mental "sounds" that created the brain and after some time spent in training and with the help of automatic fixer of words (auto-correct) reached well enough recognition of words that were not part of the speech they read. Certainly, it is necessary to further train the software to work for greater precision in identifying the brain waves.
It is not possible to detect brain waves without tap electrodes directly into the brain, and it can be detected from outside the skull is insufficiently defined. From one point of view, this is bad for Neuroscientists who want to examine this phenomenon without having to electrodes implanted in the brains of the participants.
On the other hand, this is a positive outcome if we observe the work through the prism of privacy. Namely, when scientists would have devised a way to directly read thoughts into words, we could say goodbye to privacy because somehow feel, that such software and hardware will be interested in various "security" agencies in the world.
