Meta's Brainwave Research: A Gateway to an Invasion of Our Mental Privacy
Meta has achieved a breakthrough in brainwave research using magnetoencephalography (MEG), a neuroimaging technique that captures brain activity changes on a millisecond scale.
Their model trained with contrastive learning can successfully decode words and phrases not included in its training set, indicating a genuine understanding of neural representations.
The research raises concerns about the commercialization of brain-reading technology, as it could potentially provide unprecedented access to users' thoughts and emotions, posing significant privacy concerns.
