Brain-Machine-Interface technology is only in its infancy, but scientists believe it may one day allow the severely disabled to perform everyday tasks using brain signals to power artificial limbs.
But some US tech companies have more ambitious interests. They envision a future where BMI will allow them to read people’s thoughts; and where humans will use mind power to interact with their digital devices.
It’s an exciting field, but one fraught with ethical concerns.

future into the way we transform how we communicate for the first time in tens of thousands of years? chief correspondent of mashable good day to you. this is elon musk, big thinker and big brain. spacex, tesla, and now he wants to here is the way i read it. he is saying that our brain works faster than we can speak or write, so if you can transfer ideas from brain to brain you communicate faster as a human being. basically the way to communicate hasn t changed in thousands of years and there is a lot of talk about tapping into our brains. actually facebook was talking about it the day before. and his idea is pretty intense called neurolink. and they haven t figured out how to do it. it may have to get to the
brain, a device like that. could be on your skin. it has to figure out and interpret brain waves so it can no what you were thinking or speaking so someone else wearing the same thing could have a conversation with you. bill: infant stage, dare i suggest. it is so far from the realm of possibility now but brought together the greatest out there, engineers, neuroscientists, surgeons. a team of people thinking about this problem and they are ready to start working on it. but there is a big difference between neurolink and tesla. tesla took some time and he had learning to do. same thing with spacex. it had been done before. space travel and cars had been done before. this has not been done before at this scale. bill: what he is forecasting is how we as human beings compete with artificial intelligence. he has talked about this for a long time and nervous that if we can t think at that same
