In its current form, the brain-reading software works only for certain sentences it has been trained on, but scientists believe it is a stepping stone towards a more powerful system that can decode in real time the words a person intends to say.
The work, funded by Facebook, was possible thanks to three epilepsy patients who were about to have neurosurgery for their condition. Before their operations went ahead, all three had a small patch of tiny electrodes placed directly on the brain for at least a week to map the origins of their seizures.
During their stay in hospital, the patients, all of whom could speak normally, agreed to take part in Chang’s research. He used the electrodes to record brain activity while each patient was asked nine set questions and asked to read a list of 24 potential responses
...he ethical issues such systems might raise in the future. For example, could a “speech neuroprosthesis” unintentionally reveal people’s most private thoughts?

I'm sorry Mr Grunt, it seems that you were having salacious thoughts about my receptionists, she did not appreciate them. It would best if you seek the services of another Physician...
I’d be kicked off the freaking planet just eating my lunch and watching the women walk by!!
Or at least get face slapped a lot
“”” a more powerful system that can decode in real time the words a person intends to say. “””
Plug every politician into it.
Oh, here we go. Thought-crime. How long until that can be “photoshopped”, so to speak?
Or at least get face slapped a lot
And that is why they invented the ever-popular TIN FOIL HAT.
You may want to upgrade to titanium foil?
lol
Titanium works for me :)
Plug every politician into it.
That would be fun to watch!
In a crawl under the video...
At the debate.
“I want a beer and I want to see sumpthin naked.”
Take it a step further. Be implanted with the correct opinions. Take the correct actions.
We are the Borg
Resistance is futile.
Your lives, as you have known them, are over.
From this point forward, you will service us.
Half of American voters are already pwned.
A few years before that would be required?
Or maybe not?
I was inside a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility, part of Project Temptest, over thirty years ago.
That was wild, this stuff is far beyond wild.
Google already invented this. They already know what you’re going to search.
I'm in!
They already know what you’re going to search.
I believe that to be somewhat true.
Guessing it to be a law of large numbers indirect method.
This is direct from the source(?).
It needs to be trained like the older speech recognition systems. Long ago I had Dragon Dictate(?) and had to read a list of words to train the beast.
And look where we are now, my phone needs little training, and quick too.
Had it not been for your friend in the photo, 0bama would be nothing more than a minor footnote in Illinois history.
His 2004 campaign for the Senate, against Barack Obama, received widespread media attention for the disclosure of sealed custody documents stemming from his divorce from actress Jeri Ryan. The unsealing of those documents, detailing allegations that Ryan had pressured his wife to perform sexual acts in public, led to Ryan’s withdrawal from the campaign.

“Or at least get face slapped a lot”
When both you and the women have neural implants, they can just remotely induce the sensation of a slap in your brain without actually hitting you. Then again, some men might enjoy that...
Well, blame Senator Ryan, not his ex-wife. She didn’t ask him to be a classless pervert, nor did she unseal the divorce records that detailed his creepiness.
