Mind-reading headset that gives you 'superpowers': Device lets you silently type on your computer

A new mind-reading device means people can silently type on their computer using nothing but thoughts - and it's accurate 90 per cent of the time. Instead of communicating with smart devices by saying'Ok Google' or'Hey Siri', the headset silently interprets what users are thinking, giving them'superpowers', researchers say. When people think about verbalising something, the brain sends signals to facial muscles - even if nothing is said aloud. The device has sensors that pick up seven key areas along the cheek, jaw and chin that can recognise words and can even talk back once it has processed them. Other companies, such as Elon Musk's Neuralink, are also developing'Matrix' style computer-brain interfaces to give people advanced mental abilities.
