The new brain activity scanner makes it possible to operate computers with thoughts. If the thoughts-to-text application is connected to radios. That allows it to send text-messages just by thinking. The biggest problem in BCI (Brain-Computer Interface) is how to drive EEG to the computer.
The "thoughts-to-text" application makes uses a similar model to "voice command applications". The spoken words will transform to text, and then the system sends that text to the computer's control interface. Researchers can combine this kind of EEG-controlled system with a voice-command application.
The system uses the layer that transforms thoughts into the text as a layer where the system drives thoughts to commands for computers. In the simplest model, the user can activate the BCI system by using the button. Then the system will transform thoughts into text, and then the AI will recognize if there are words that seem like commands. The user can use the small joystick to confirm or not confirm the orders.
"Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have developed a semantic decoder that converts brain activity into a continuous text stream, according to a study published in Nature Neuroscience. This non-invasive AI system relies on a transformer model and could potentially aid individuals unable to physically communicate due to conditions like strokes. Participants undergo training with the decoder by listening to hours of podcasts while in an fMRI scanner. The decoder then generates text from brain activity while the participant listens to or imagines a story." (ScitechDaily.com/Not Science Fiction: Brain Activity Decoder Transforms Thoughts Into Text)
The thing is that. By connecting this type of system with augmented reality is possible to make the operating interface where a person must not move even fingers. The idea is that the system follows a certain point in the eye, and then aims the crosshair at the right point on the screen. Then the user can blink their eyes, and blinking the left eye might be the left mouse button. And the right eye means the right mouse button. By using that system person can fill forms on the computer screen by using BCI. The aiming point tells, what field wanted to fill, and then the person just thinks something.
The thoughts to text-applications are the pathfinders for the systems that also can project visual things that a person imagines. If that kinds of advancements are in use, we can make movies by using our imagination, and introduce them to other people. And those systems that can transform the EEG to film and sound can also uncover secrets of dreams. The ability to see what another person thinks and dreams would be revolutionary.
But that kind of system can revolutionize things like criminal investigations. The people who are working with those cases could see everything that person sees during the crime. And that system can be the next-generation lie detector. If somebody carries that kind of system other people can see and hear everything that person sees and hear.
