But what if you think that’s scary? According to Facebook it’s developing technology to read your brainwaves so that you don’t have to look down at your phone to type emails, you can just think them. Facebook has assembled a team of 60 people, including machine learning and neural prosthetics experts, to enable such a system. Another reason why Facebook wants to read our brain activity is to develop the equivalent of a “brain mouse” for augmented reality. Facebook wants the recipient not to read the email, but to feel it.
