A person with ALS uses a brain implant to control a computer cursor, enabling them to enter text using the Dasher interface.
Here’s the article about the tech this ALS patient is using:

Wow! This is a true future!
Very good!
Awesome

Huh, Dasher. I've got that keyboard on my phone.
Luke, i`m your father
Made device for reading human thoughts / human mind reading machine / Brain Computer Interface / discovery is not published. I invite partnership.
A complicated way to say: Hello world!
Sadly this technology is nothing new. I'm waiting for the day, where the read representations instead of simple differentiations.
It is still not fast enought. What about autocorrect and autocompletion? Wouldn't it be better to teach him/her a digital input method then an analog. Simliar to the old mobile keypads.
Would this work for people with, say, persistent vegitative syndrome or locked-in syndrome?
Aw crap, I imagined this to be like SUPER HACKER MODE ENGAGE and type out paragraphs a second.
Is the implant necessary, a wireless way to read mind using quantum or eeg or bio-nano-technology (a drink like a coffee) cannot allow the same ?
