Today got an opportunity to attend talk of Prof. Rajesh P N Rao at IIIT-Hyderabad. Brain-to- machine and brain-to-brain communication technology developed by him and his collaborators and students brings to life, some of the ideas imagined in science fiction. Surely, this research is going to impact humankind in the near future. A direct impact will be to help people with disabilities and diseases, but there could be many non-medical applications too. These advances open up immense possibilities and new challenges for the human race. It is difficult to predict the future, so I will not even attempt to do so, but surely it is going to be different than today. Check out this video by Prof. Rao's team.
