Science reconstructs brain waves into words

Just as long as it doesn't have the same voice that Stephen Hawking's machine has...

I am new to this site....and the first thread I clicked on was this. I think this is incredible fascinating and makes obvious sense. I would love to learn more about this even if it does creep me out in some ways.

Telepathic texting is a neat concept but....sorta dangerous. Sometimes I need the "filter" of having to pick up the phone, text, check for errors and then decide I don't really want to send it. hehehe
