What is Artificial Intelligence?

Intel-developed sensor will allow you to operate your computer, cell phones, TVs and other electronic gadgets through your brain

Intel is one of the well-known and leading manufacturer of the universally-used microchips or micro-processors in the history of computing. On the company's 40th year anniversary, CTO Justin Rattner, recalled how computers used to be large and attended by several specialists and how it has evolved to a more intelligent, multi-task systems. This year also, marks the company's objective to merge human and machine intelligence by developing brain sensor that will eventually control computers by the year 2020.

At Intel's research lab in Pittsburgh, scientists are studying about the human brain waves, how to read and harness them, so they can be used to operate computers, television sets and cell phones. Brain waves are harnessed through Intel-developed sensors implanted in the human brain.

Using FMRI (Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging), Intel scientists can decode specific brain activities. These machines "determine that blood flow changes in specific areas of the brain based on what word or image someone is thinking of. People tend to show the same brain patterns for similar thoughts" he added. This technology is the next step to less-intrusive brain-computer interface.
