Mind-Reading Software from Microsoft

Filed under: Neurology

Mike Elgan over at the Raw Feed is reporting that Microsoft is working on brain reading software, that it might one day be implementing for the purpose of diagnostics, or for control of home electronics via specialized peripheral computer accessories.

Mike says:

The company's R&D department has figured out how to use a "low-cost electroencephalograph" for "detecting specific forms of brain activity." Research papers associated with the project say that "knowing the state of the user as well as the tasks they are performing may provide key information that would allow us to design context sensitive systems that adapt themselves to optimally support the state of the user."
