Aussies on the verge of bionics ‘Holy Grail’ ahead of human trials of brain machine interface technology

IMAGINE being able to communicate with a machine using nothing but your thoughts.

That is the goal currently being pursued by a team of researchers and engineers at Melbourne University who are leading the way in the hugely significant field of developing brain machine interfaces.

In an effort to accomplish what has been likened to machine telepathy, they have developed a tiny biocompatible implant called a stentrode which gets implanted into a blood vessel next to the brain. The tiny implant records electric activity from a specific part of the brain and the information is then fed into a decoding algorithm which interprets the electric activity, or thoughts.

Sounds promising.

I’m waiting to communicate with myself with nothing but thoughts. Porn flashbacks suck……….

That was first done in the 1920s. It became immensely popular in the 1970s and 1980s.
