'Not a random idea factory': Why Facebook says its
brain sensors are closer than you think:
"Brain scanning and skin sensors sound like the stuff of science fiction.
And Facebook's recently announced efforts to create this technology could easily be
dismissed by cynics as a public relations stunt by a large company looking to prove its
innovation bona fides.
But the 60 scientists and engineers working at Facebook's "Building 8" — as the
skunkworks hardware lab is known — are already making detailed plans for this
sci-fi-like future.
Within 18 months, Building 8 hopes to have a working prototype of a brain sensor
capable of typing 100 words a minute. And the group is drawing up plans to form a
panel to examine the ethical implications of brain scanning."
