Spiral brain-computer interface slips into ear canal with no loss of hearing

A multi-institutional team of engineers in China has developed a new type of brain-computer interface (BCI) that can be easily slipped in and out of the ear canal. In their project, reported in the journal Nature Communications, the group set out to design and build a new kind of BCI that is less invasive than existing devices.

research team suggests development of applications that convert full thoughts into text, controlling objects in real and virtual worlds—and even perhaps augmented memory.

    So, this thing is only entering the external ear canal. Its not getting to the brain. Not only is the eardrum an airtight barrier that only works if its air tight, even if you made it past it theres a lot of organs and bone structure, it doesnt continue as a tunnel into the brain.
