Man, who the hell cares about typing shit with your brain? This technology will mean that one day, you can preserve a video record of your dreams.
The other side of the coin is that now law enforcement and governments are going to be exploring the practicality of convicting suspects with their own thoughts. |
Even if the technology is perfected (like as accurate as a DNA sample), it will have to be used with willing parties only. People that are in vegetative states, comas, immediately post-accident victims. The fifth amendment protects our right to self-incriminate orally or otherwise. Off the books, it has more practical applications in military investigations, as it would gain information without (hopefully) causing no discomfort or pain.
However! Just as criminals now wear gloves to prevent leaving finger prints, wear masks in banks, and wear condoms when a-raping, future criminals may intentionally damage, repurpose or conceal memories of crimes past.
