Good-bye typos? Does that mean it can could also read our minds too... that would be useful but scary...

Read text or sentences instead of movements is a completely different challenge though and it would open space to a whole another level of "typos". Just imagine it reading things you're not even aware of thinking / perceiving. It'd be really weird.

Like just imagine you're HUNGRY writing an essay ARM ITCH explaining the difference WHAT'S THAT NOISE of passing arguments THIS IS SILLY by value or by I NEED COFFEE reference.

@lucaspar but it says it can figure out intentions so that is basically thoughts?

So rather than catching how i plan to move my muscle, just catch just step before? The signal i want to send to my muscle.

And i m now confusing myself... seems i m in a loop...

@lucaspar yea too many thoughts... but i mean as long as they're all captured, you can then filter it like Big Data?

@billgates right, let's take that part where the guy types on an imaginary keyboard, he's still doing the movements. The machine takes the neurons signals from the muscles themselves and not the brain, so just the signal is read. It's very different from reading minds (fortunately, maybe?).

@lucaspar but theres the part where he doesn't move the hands, seems like its just a fist but the hand in the screen movves?

@billgates he doesn't move because the other guy is stopping him, but the muscle signal is there.

In a parallel thought... I'm not even sure this would be useful for paraplegics, unless they have a way of reading the muscle signal before it reaches the spinal cord.

@lucaspar oh i thought he was just holding him to prove its his thoughts and not his hands trying to move

@billgates there you can see his hand muscles moving though, it is not just the thought. His body really does it but it's externally constricted by the other person.
