[citation][nom]the_silver_tape[/nom]If you read the history of speech recognition interfaces you will see that it started out almost exactly the same way as this brain wave stuff. Speech recog. started out slow and difficult to use, requiring you to only say one letter or maybe one word at a time. The software was extremely expensive and required extensive calibration to work correctly but everyone said that it would dramatically improve with time and that it would be the interface that everyone will use in the future. Now, decades later, the software has gotten better but it is still pretty expensive, it still requires decently powerful hardware and in my experience it is still buggy and inaccurate. Here's to hoping that brain interfaces fair better.[/citation]
Me too!
I talk funky I guess (I used to have a nasty lisp, but now people just think I'm from a couple thousand kilometres away), and I can't use speech recognition at all. It sucks. =(
