Scientists at a number of universities, including Brown, along with Cyberkinetics Neurotechnology Systems Corp. have been having a lot of success with tapping brain waves directly to send commands to computer/electronic devices. They’ve used an implant smaller than an aspirin that sits on top of the brain and reads the person’s electrical brain patterns. The subject has been able to control a mouse, play video games and even use a TV remote control. Next step - instant thought transfer.
