Brain-machine interface headset - Logan Darklighter - 08-06-2010
Just found out about this... this device is full of win and awesome. The applications are many and far-reaching. One thought that immediately occurs to me - could exoframes that allow disabled people better mobility be right around the corner?
Or even true mecha?

I don't think it's anywhere near that level of sophistication. I'm not sure it -can- be. I think this is more along the lines of interpreting motor control signals and such.

If it's something along the lines of motor control impulses, my understanding is that those are a lot simpler than anything even close to reading thoughts as such.

And people wonder why I think that we're living in a cyberpunk world... or at the very least getting very close to it. Who wants to live in Snow Crash?

On the science side, I suspect that we will reach SF levels of bio-tech well before cyber-tech. Regrowth of limbs, nerves, and whole organs; in-situ repair of damaged tissue, muscle and even nerves.
Amazing stuff.
