“Non-invasive is like, you wear a band or glasses, you shine an optical light and get a sense of blood flow in certain areas of the brain,” he explained.
Before this time, Musk has already proposed a plan to make an actual chip which is meant to be inserted into human brains. (It will be designed with taste and wireless cleanliness so you “have no wires poking out of your head,” as Musk assured.)
Zuckerberg has said he’s interested in the idea of computer-human integration, too, but will approach it differently than Musk, and that's why he explained his own idea.
“I think as part of AR and VR, we’ll end up having hand interfaces. We’ll end up having voice [interface and] a little bit of direct brain [integration]… But we’re going for the non-invasive approach,” Zuckerberg explained.
He said such a device would transfer less data between a computer and a brain, but that would be enough to allow a person to perform many sci-fi-sounding tasks, such as clicking a button, scrolling through a menu and even typing a text message—all without using your hands or any other muscle movements. (How cool this is going to be).
“Non-invasive” is very important, and Facebook needs that right now.
A lot of people will still see this in the negative side, probably because they don't trust Facebook.
What's your own thought on this? Do you think the idea should be welcomed or not?
