There are many possible inventions. One I want is a neural computer interface.
This invention I have imagined looks like a thin helmet or a hood. The Nucompi, the best name I could think of in a couple of minutes, will sense electrical impulses and changes in the brain of the user. This will be connected to a normal desktop computer with interface software. The software will detect changes in the working of the brain and interpret them as commands to type words and execute basic commands on the computer.
With this setup, the user will be able to type sentences and control the computer with their mind. Since people can think much faster than they can type or use a mouse, this will be much faster than current methods.
After these functions are perfected, the Nucompi can be expanded to handle more things. With miniaturization, it can take on many attributes of an MRI. If impulses can be associated with words, figuring out the changes that make up basic emotions is the next step. The Nucompi will scan the user's feelings and give a complete readout of what is being felt, even if it is at such low levels the user is unaware of it.
Once the Nucompi has been engineered to do all this, the next logical step is for it to input signals into the brain and not just output them. Instead of the user writing in a letter "I feel sad," the feelings can be scanned and the pattern transmitted online. The recipient of the letter can put on their Nucompi and open up the letter and feel the same emotions the sender felt.
The technology is out there
There is technology which allows people who have lost their hands in accidents to manipulate a mechanical hand. Studies have been done which show the brain is very adaptable and can learn to manipulate things as well as interpret signals. There are possibilities, people need to realize them.
If this became reality, I could make posts faster and better.
