Well you'll need three states which are easily translated to the commands.

The more channels you have, the easier it is tor recognise any specific configuration of brainwaves.

It's not like thoughts are as easy to pinpoint as spatial coordinates. You don't really decide what your specific brainwave output will be when you focus on thinking "up". It will be a combination of different brain waves, and the more accurately you can measure that, the easier it is for the computer to pick up when you're thinking "up".

Try playing a tune with just three tones available to you, it'd be hard.

The technology isn't new, but the resolution sort of is.

Hell they used the tech in a House episode in like, 2009.

What do you mean "if you can't control them"? The channels are how many bands you're reading, and they are using quite fancy computers to do the reading. What's there to control? BCI is just a fancier interface than a keyboard, it's still only one-way, so I don't understand what you mean by "control" in this context.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

@jawa21@startrek.website for realizing that the line used to be "want to be added to the sidebar?" and capitalized on it. Congratulations and welcome to the sidebar. Stamets is both ashamed and proud.
