Meta releases non-invasive brain-computer interface that reads thoughts through magnetic fields
By
Jowi Morales
Summary
Meta has released version two of its Brain2Qwerty brain-computer interface, which uses a non-invasive magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner to detect brain activity and translate thoughts into keypresses. Unlike Neuralink and other BCIs that require invasive surgery to implant sensors, Meta's system reads faint magnetic field changes from brain activity externally. This "thinking cap" approach could allow patients with mobility loss to control computers without undergoing surgery.

This 'thinking cap' could let patients use a BCI without needing to go under the knife.
