The American company would be working on a secret project for the realization of a technology that in the future could allow us to communicate through thought
It’s really the case to say that reality could one day overcome fantasy. And this is thanks to Facebook. According to some rumors, Zuckerberg’s social network is trying to develop a communication system based on brainwaves.
A technology that in the future could allow people to interact through thought. To report the news has been the online newspaper Business Insider, which claims that Facebook is looking for new figures to carry on the project. The site in fact has identified some applications published by the social network in the mysterious group Building 8. The division was created precisely for the development of a technology called “brain computer interface”, which in part confirms the future projects of Zuckerberg’s social network.
A form of communication controlled by thought
In the job positions published in Building 8 and discovered by Business Insider, reference is made to a project of “neuroimaging” and “electrophysiological data” for the creation of a communication platform of the future. Just to clarify, neuroimaging encompasses a set of technologies that are used to study the human brain. Going further into the job openings, we see that Facebook is also looking for engineers specialized in the development of algorithms that are able to process audio signals. Numerous clues then that show how the company founded by Zuckerberg is really convinced to create a new form of communication controlled by thought.
Communicating with thought
The projects of Building 8 continue to remain a mystery. At the moment, in fact, it is not possible to guess, for example, the technology that Facebook will use to create this new platform. Surely the social network for the future has in store something that could allow people one day to interact through thought, as evidenced by a comment made by Zuckerberg in 2015: “One day I think we will be able to exchange thoughts using technology directly.”
