By 2020, to manage the computer you will not need whichever keyboard or else mouse, the researcher’s state, Intel. Instead, users will open documents as well as view Web pages by only their brain waves.

Scientists from the Intel Research Laboratory in Pittsburgh working on ways to read human brain waves and use them to control the operation of computers, televisions and mobile phones. It is assumed that the brain waves will be detected with sensors developed by Intel, implanted in the human brain. Scientists say that this plan is not a scenario ─ sci-fi movie. Big Brother will not implant chips in the brain against your will. Researchers expect that consumers want freedom they get with implants.

"I think people remarkably adaptive", ─ "said Andrew Chien, vice-president of Intel Labs and Research Director at the latest technologies. ─ "If you told people 20 years ago, that they will always be computers, they would say:" I do not want that. I do not need. "Now, you can not get them to stop doing it. There are many things to do in the first place, but I think that the implantation of chips in the human brain is already within reach."

Researcher Intel Pomerlau Dean said that users will soon get tired of depending on the computer interface, as well as the need to get the device out of your pocket or bag to access it. He also suggested that users will get tired of the manipulation with the fingers. Instead, they can simply manipulate the various devices using their own brain. "We are trying to prove that you can do interesting things with the brain waves", ─ Pomerlau said. ─ "In the end, people will be ready for more advanced brain implants. Imagine that you can dig into the internet by force of your thoughts.

To achieve this, Pomerlau and his research team of Intel employees and scientists from Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh is currently working on the decipherment of the human brain. According Pomerlau, the team used functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) to determine changes in blood flow in certain areas of the brain when a person thinks of any word or image. Usually, when people think about the same, they are active more or less the same brain regions. For example, if two people think about the image bear, or think the word "bear", or even hear the roar of a bear, the brain scans show that the same active sites. In principle, there are standard templates that appear in the brain for different words or images. Pomerlau said that researchers are close to the creation of the brain-sensing technology that can be used to control the computer. The next step is to develop smaller, less bulky sensors that can be implanted in the brain.

These studies of the brain involved not only Intel and the company. Almost two years ago, scientists in the United States and Japan announced that the brains of monkeys were successfully used to control a humanoid robot. The developers had hoped that this work could help paralyzed people walk. A month earlier, scientists from the University of Arizona reported that they have successfully designed a robot which is controlled by the brains and eyes of moths. Charles Higgins, Associate Professor University of Arizona, predicted that in 10-15 years people will use "hybrid" computers that combine technology and living organic tissue.

Now, according to Pomerlau, different research teams are developing technologies to determine the activity within the skull. "If we can get to the point where we can accurately determine the specific words, you can mentally enter data", ─ he added. ─ "You could combine the letters or words, thinking about characters, flashing on the screen, or typing whole words, rather than individual characters."Pomerlau also noted that the more scientists learn about the brain, the more complex microprocessors, they can develop. He said: "If we can see how the brain does this, then we can build more intelligent computers.
