     New neural interfaces have been developed that will help connect the brain of paralyzed individuals, amongst others, to communicate via<\/em> a type of \u201cwired<\/a> telepathy<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cLate last month, New York-based biotech company Synchron announced the results of a trial of its two-piece brain modem in four people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, or ALS\u2014a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects the brain and spinal cord and can lead to paralysis. It was the first time the U.S. Food and Drug Administration had approved a BCI for clinical trials.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe implants weren\u2019t just safe, according to Synchron. They worked too\u2014at least on a rudimentary level. The devices \u2018allowed participants to use a computer to communicate by text and perform daily tasks such as online shopping and banking.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThat might sound like science fiction, but the idea is pretty straightforward. Our brains move around information via subtle electrical impulses. Our thoughts, in other words, are electricity. And they flash in recognizable patterns. Put a sensor in the brain, and it can read the patterns. Connect that sensor to a radio transmitter, and you can literally beam your thoughts to a compatible device the same way phones connect to phones or your computer connects to WiFi.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe applications are obvious, especially for paralyzed people. With a safe, effective brain modem, you wouldn\u2019t need to move or even speak in order to send a text, browse the internet or interact with any number of electronic devices.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

     Of course, that article ignores the most important potential for this technology: Cyborg catgirls who have a superior brain-cyborg body interface, but cyborg catgirls who can communicate directly over the internet!<\/p>\n
