  • Meta's mind-reading project achieved high accuracy using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to decode brain activity while participants typed sentences
  • Current wearable BCIs measure crude brain states rather than specific thoughts, but implantable devices are approaching word-level neural decoding
  • Free Will research by Sam Harris and Behave by Robert Sapolsky suggest humans may lack true Free Will due to subconscious brain processes
  • Future brain-to-brain communication could bypass language limitations, enabling direct neural activity transmission between individuals
