Potential cool upcoming tech| The science of visible thought and our translucent selves | Mary Lou Jep...

Comment:

If this works it could form part of the basis for future noninvasive brain computer interfaces, you need both the ability to receive information from the brain and to send information to the brain directly for a complete two way interface.



As mentioned in the video this has the potential to improve control of external devices, as it seems able to read information, but a two way brain computer interface, one able to also send information to the brain would seem to need additional tech(perhaps genetic engineering could make proteins receptive to external signals of some sort that could noninvasively get through?).



It also presents an issue regards copyright, someone with very good memory, are they not allowed to show the contents of their thoughts, to share their very memories with one another?  Are we to say there's a copyright violation if someone used such or similar future tech to show memories of a movie or a song to others?
