Every day something new is being seen in the world of technology, but now what is going to come, it will change your way of thinking. Now to control the mobile phone, neither hands nor voice will be needed. Soon the time can come when you only think something in your mind and your iPhone will automatically do that work.
Yes, Apple is working on such technology that can give the strength to control the phone with a human thinking. This technique is called “brain-computer interface” ie BCI. This means that your brain will directly interact with your device, without any touch or command.
What is BCI Technology?
BCI is a system that makes a direct connection between human brain and an electronic device. Meaning, now you have to type, neither tap nor scroll on the screen. As soon as you think, the device will understand you and will work accordingly.
Apple has taken a big initiative in this direction and joined hands with neurotechnology company Synchron. This company is already working on BCI devices. The special thing is that the device of Synchron is fitted with surgery and connects to the motor part of the brain and reads the signal.
For whom is this technology?
The most benefit can be to those who are unable to speak or run hands and feet due to some disease or accident. This technology can open a new door for them, so that they will be able to reach their views to others.
The American organization FDA (Food and Drug Administration) has also given Synchron’s device the status of “Breakthrough”. That is, it has the ability that can make the lives of millions of people easier in future.
Apple is not alone
While Apple is preparing to bring this new technology to the iPhone, Neuralink, the world’s most popular billionaire * Alan Musk *, is also moving forward on this path. Neuralink is working on brain implants that can understand human intentions by reading neural signals.
Recently, Neuralink has succeeded in putting a chip in the mind of his third patient. Its purpose is the same, operating the device with thinking.
How long can this technology come?
There are reports that Apple can bring this technology for trial by the end of this year. That is, in the coming time, this technology can become a part of the iPhone.
Glimpse of future
Think, when you can only be able to send messages from your mind without speaking or doing anything, you will be able to open an app, or click the photo. This can be not the scene of any science fiction film, but the next technical reality.
