operate computer with your mind
A mind -reading device that could let you control computer and apps with your thoughts has been described in a Microsoft patent application.
The document describes a headest capable of "changing the state of an application by detecting neurological user intent data" if such a device was built and worked as intended ,you did be able to use your computer and favourite apps completely hand free. Microsoft says the headset would enable people to plat games, interact with VR and AR apps, use word processors and web browsers, and even use apps for "controlling mechanical tools and /or machinery using ,just their thoughts.
The patent application describes the company's vision as " computer system s methods and storage media for changing the state of application by detecting neurological user intent data associated with a particular operation of particular application state so as to enable execuation of the particular operation as intended by the user." The application state is automatically changed to align with the intended operation as determined by received neurological user intent data.
The document doesn't say what method the headset would use to gather the data, but it contains references to Electroncepphalography (EEG) Magnetoencephalography (MEG) and functional Magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI)
all non - invasive techniques for measuring brain activity.
