Facebook is working on a ‘brain-computer interface’ to read and transmit your thoughts
Mark Zuckerberg's dream of gadgets that let humans read each other’s thoughts and communicate with brain waves may be moving closer to reality.
A secretive new research division that Facebook created last year is developing “brain-computer interface” technology that sounds a lot like the telepathy of science fiction movies.
Several recent job postings listed by Facebook’s Building 8 group describe a project involving ”neuroimaging” and ”electrophysiological data” to create a ”communications platform of the future”.
An open position for a brain-computer interface engineer seeks a PhD in neuroscience who can help with a related project from “inception to product” over a two-year period. Another listing seeks an engineer who can “develop audio signal processing algorithms” for a “communication and computing platform of the future”.

“One day, I believe we’ll be able to send full rich thoughts to each other directly using technology,” Zuckerberg said during a June 2015 Q&A. “You’ll just be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too if you’d like.”
Other listings seek engineers who can develop “novel non-invasive neuroimaging technologies” and create “realistic and immersive haptics experiences”.
