Mind-reading technology - Are we ready for it?

Neurable CEO Ramses Alcaide has a mission: bring neurotechnology out of research labs -- and surgical suites -- and into everyday life. "Neurable exists to make brain-computer interfaces an everyday thing," Alcaide says. He envisions a future where the neurotechnology that allows Neurable's products to read brainwaves via electrical signals -- without surgical implants -- is used to track cognitive capability and mental health, like a Fitbit for the brain. The company is also building towards a future where brain-computer interfaces (BCI) allow people with disabilities to easily control prosthetics and robotics, and even lets people who cannot speak communicate again. Their current device, still only available as a preorder, is a set of headphones, called Enten. The headphones are designed to read electrical signals produced by neurons in your brain, a technique called electroencephalography, or EEG for short.
