Well financed New York nerds typing out words on a computer......just by thinking. (No eye movement involved) I kid you not.

Now if I could just generate DTE mats with my brain....

That's even more impressive than the 500 gh ANALOG chip I was reading about yesterday.

Did it have those vaccum tubes sticking out of it? Lol....

Nah! I read the article through code project - I think it was regarding the same thing you just posted in another thread(my access is so much slower than yours so I wasn't aware that you had posted that other at the time I replied.) The two things are similar in that neither is anywhere near reaching the public. The interesting thing about the half TB chip is that they hope that since they've got one of those analog chips going the digital technology will follow the analog which as I understand it is useful in radar and telephone ONLY if ther is a complimentary half TB digital chip.

As far as the mindreading computers go I'm waiting for the FireFox (or whatever that Clint Eastwood movie was called) type apps where you could fly a plane or drive a car using it. 

Whenever I hear analog for some reason my brain thinks of the TV set my family had 25 years ago. Encased in wood about the size of a coffin.

The tubes in the back would give off enough heat to keep you warm in the winter, lol.

Yeah I still have to think twice when I read the word DAC. I think crt monitors and sound cards still use digital to analog converters. 

BTW when I've got 5 monitors (with computers)  a tv and sterio going all at the same time it raises the room temperature 10 degrees in the computer room even though they are all 'transistorized' units(mostly the monitors and tv I suspect).

Amazing stuff. sounds like a promising development.

"Yeah I still have to think twice when I read the word DAC. I think crt monitors and sound cards still use digital to analog converters. "

Yup, they do. They have to. Speakers and Cathode Ray Tubes are analogue devices. So, somewhere along the line, the signal needs to be converted...
And if you use a digital camera, or record to disc from a microphone, then somewhere, again, there's an ADC (used to digitise an analogue signal).

After all, the world/universe is totally analogue. It's just that a (miniscule) part of it is interpreted as digital for our own convenience..:-))

So then
As this gets better and easier, This might not be a good idea.

Picture this, you're in the middle of the brain run type session
if the boss is a jerk and he's standing over your shoulder. And you think" I wish this jerk boss would quit standing over my shoulder so I can get this document finished.
It would type it out

Or one could think, I hope the boss does not find out  that I ruined that expensive company equipment.

same thing

then you're unemployed.

the only way to correct that would be to train yourself, by repeating think good thoughts, think good thoughts, think good thoughts, the boss is a wonderful, I wish every one was like the boss. it would type that to but the boss could stand there for that one.

I don't think it would work like that...I'm thinking you actually have to concentrate and tell it to do the typing. Though...As the technology progresses, imagine hooking yourself up and throwing up a digital audio/video recording program before you went to sleep...you'd be able to record your dreams. That would be amazing.
