Intel Wants Brain Implants in Its Customers’ Heads by 2020 If the idea of turning consumers into true cyborgs sounds creepy, don’t tell Intel researchers. Intel’s Pittsburgh lab aims to develop brain implants that can control all sorts of gadgets directly via brain waves by 2020. The scientists anticipate that consumers will adapt quickly to the idea, and indeed crave the freedom of not requiring a keyboard, mouse, or remote control for surfing the Web or changing channels. They also predict that people will tire of multi-touch devices such as our precious iPhones, Android smart phones and even Microsoft’s wacky Surface Table. Turning brain waves into real-world tech action still requires some heavy decoding of brain activity. The Intel team has already made use of fMRI brain scans to match brain patterns with similar thoughts across many test subjects. Plenty of other researchers have also tinkered in this area. Toyota recently demoed a wheelchair controlled with brainwaves, and University of Utah researchers have created a wireless brain transmitter that allows monkeys to control robotic arms. |
Tu penses que ca va etre disponible pour notre ami Cameleon?
Yé on va pouvoir jouer au Jedi!
Mais plus serieusement il s’agit d’une avancee tres interessante. Pensons juste au handicapes comme steven Hawkins qui pourraient dorenavant « ecrire » par la pensee.
Ou juste dans leur activite de tout les jours, changer le poste de la tele. (quand S. Guilbault ou un autre clown d’equiterre est interviewer.)
ça serait comme de vouloir installer « Windows 7 » sur un vieux Pentium 100.
