As part of Facebook’s futuristic projects, this is by far the most amazing. Facebook’s brain-computer interface is the ultimate project being developed in their secretly facility building F8. In April, the social media giant revealed that 60 engineers are working on building a brain-computer interface that will allow you to type with just your mind without using invasive implants. The function will use optical imaging that scans your brain at 10 times per second to detect when you speak silently in your head and then translate that into text. This will enable people to control AR and VR experiences with their mind instead of a screen controller.
Building 8 started the project in October 2015 and is in collaboration with UC San Francisco UC Berkley, John Hopkins medicine, John Hopkins University’s applied physics Laboratory and Washington university school of medicine. The mega project involves specialists in machine learning for decoding speech and language, optical neuro-imaging systems with advance spatial resolution and advanced neural prosthetics. Now that would be really something and indeed the future.
