In the increasingly astonishing landscape of neural technologies, a new milestone promises to radically change our relationship with digital devices. A research team led by Kim Hodam at Yonsei University in South Korea has taken a significant step forward in the development of brain-computer interfaces, creating innovative micro-sensors that allow us to control electronic devices…with our minds.
These tiny sensors, comparable to micro-pins, can be conveniently applied to the scalp, embedding themselves between hair follicles without the need to pierce the skin or resort to invasive interventions. This is totally wearable technology designed to read brain signals and translate them into digital commands.
The real revolution? Users can answer the phone simply by thinking about doing so. No need for hands, voice or physical interactions: just thoughts. Tests have shown that the sensors work flawlessly for up to 12 consecutive hours, even during on-the-go activities such as walking or running.
With this invention, the future of neural technologies no longer seems so far away. Science fiction is becoming reality and could radically transform the way we interact with the digital world. The only question remains: are we ready to respond-with our minds?
