In the latest advance in brain-computer interfaces, a company said its wireless device enabled speech even when a patient just imagined saying words.
I’m fascinated by brain-computer interfaces, not just for disabled people, but for everyone. However, the trust issue seems as difficult to overcome as technical hurdles — can you imagine giving Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk access to your one and only brain? And it’s not just Zuck and Mecha-Hitler — I can’t imagine giving any company that kind of access.
