Ahead of the Thought: How Brain-Computer Interfaces Are Learning to Decode What You Haven't Yet Decided
A new generation of neural interface technology is moving beyond recording what the brain does to anticipating what it is about to do—detecting the faint electrical signatures of intention before conscious action forms. Across American research institutions, scientists are racing to decode these pre-motor signals, with implications ranging from restored mobility for paralyzed patients to profound questions about cognitive privacy. The science of reading minds before minds are made up has arrived
