The 'brainternt' project: Scientists create wireless implants that could let users control computes and smart devices with their MINDS

Humans could soon have'brainternet' thanks to a wireless implant that will let people control computers and smart devices with their minds. Scientists at Purdue University designed a device smaller than a dime that sensed and transmitted data to a pair of over-the-ear headphones. Unlike current brain chips, Purdue's implants do not need to connect to a computer or device to capture the user's brain waves. The team foresees their innovation letting people connect to the internet, computers and other smart devices no matter where they are. While there have been many attempts to link brain signals with an external device, the latest research is the first to demonstrate high-bandwidth wireless communication between neural implants and wearable devices.
