Mind-reading technology

• A brain-computer interface (BCI), sometimes called a direct neural interface or a brain-machine interface, is a direct communication pathway between a human or animal brain (or brain cell culture) and an external device.

Brain implants: a new interface for communication

An emerging technology developed by Emory University neuroscientist Philip R. Kennedy, M.D., and Emory neurosurgeon Roy E. Bakay, M.D. who have developed an electrode brain implant that is allowing speech-impaired patients to communicate through a computer.

Turing test

The Russian program - a chatbot named "Eugene Goostman" - convinced 1 in 3 judges at the Turing Test 2014 competition at the Royal Society in London that it was a real person; according to Eugene's makers, it was the first time this has happened since Turing first pro-

posed the test in 1950.
