THE CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is reportedly to hire neuroscientists and electronics engineers to create a social platform that reads the mind of its users.
it is Not known if the new project is an expansion of Facebook or a venture completely new, but it is certain that this attempt could revolutionize online communication, and computing of the future. According to what has been reported by "The Independent", this experience telepathic allows an interface "brain-the computer" read the mind of your users and simplify even more the current communication.
The ad that appeared on Facebook asks employees with experience in the area of "artificial intelligence and computers" and in "algorithms and systems for signal processing, speech and audio" to build the next software of the future. It is also expected that the individual be "slightly impatient, willing to face their fear of failing and accomplishing goals bold". The professional is offered a two-year contract in the team of hardware "Building 8" in California.
The team "Building 8" of Facebook was initiated in the past year and it works very secret. Still not officially announced any products, but in December announced a partnership with 17 universities. For the future they intend to innovate through "augmented reality and the virtual, artificial intelligence, connectivity and other areas of progress important." One of the responsibilities of those involved in the team is the "application of learning methods in automated, including the encoding and decoding models to map "data from neuroimaging and electrophysiological".
as much as this seems straight out of a science fiction movie, Mark Zuckerberg had already revealed in 2015, during a question and answer session with Business Insider uk, who wanted to create a technology able to "capture a thought in his perfect way and share it with the world." "I believe that one day will be able to think of something and send it to your friends to try out at the same time," said Zuckerberg.
According to the Senior Teacher in Electronics at the University of Lancashire Central, Stephen Sigurnjak, telepathy or mind reading is much closer to science than magic. "The brain works through electrical activity, a bit like a computer. To the extent that you focus on something, it fires off neurons in the brain," explains the professor. Thus, it is possible to decode the electrical signals mental, and translate these thoughts into action.
at The same time, was released another ad that seeks experts in haptics – digital interaction sensory that involves the touch – to create the experience "realistic and immersive". This expert will be integrated in the social network Facebook.
