The invention is the latest step in the rapidly developing field of brain-machine interfaces.
The chips send the signals wirelessly to a central hub, which coordinates and processes the signals.
The system could one day allow the recording of brain signals in greater detail than existing methods.

Drivers also could benefit from computers that read your brain.
Most drivers, however, would probably object to having brain implants to monitor their thoughts.

It can be used for in-vehicle entertainment control and feature controls.”
However, theres a long way to go before brain-computational interfaces can do all that scientists hope.
For example, current systems still cant capture specific activities of neurological nodes and networks, Giordano said.
