What is Meta's new Brain-Typing AI technology?
In this wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital world, people are surrounded by new technologies. In such a situation, have you ever thought that whatever you think gets typed automatically. Yes, in fact, in 2017, facebook introduced a unique idea. According to the company, there should be a brain-reading system that can type just by thinking. After several years of research, the company has made progress in this direction. However, this technology is not yet available to the general public.
How does Meta's brain-typing AI work?
This technology of Meta analyzes the brain's activities through Artificial Intelligence (AI) and neuroscience and estimates which letter the person is typing. But there is also a problem in this. Actually, this entire system depends on a large and expensive device. Also, it can be used only in a controlled experiment room.
According to MIT technology Review, this technology uses magnetoencephalography (MEG) machine, which sends the smallest activities of the brain to the machine under magnetic signals. This machine is very sensitive.
Not available to common people yet
Even though this technology is a major achievement from a scientific point of view, it will take a long time to become a product. There are many reasons behind this.
The MEG machine weighs half a ton and costs around $2 million (Rs 16 crore). That is why it cannot be made available to common people. Apart from this, to use this machine, a person has to sit absolutely still, because even a slight movement can make the brain message wrong. Meta researcher Jean-Rémi king and his team are focusing on better understanding the process of language in the brain rather than developing this technology as a product.
