Thinking is the New Typing

The launch of the "LinkBand S4" has done what many thought impossible: made Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) a ubiquitous consumer accessory. At a price point of $299, it is cheaper than a mid-range phone.

How It Works

Using high-fidelity EEG and advanced noise-canceling AI, the device reads surface-level motor cortex signals. You don't "think" words; you "intend" to type them. The learning curve has dropped from weeks to minutes.

The Privacy Nightmare

If your device can read your intention to type "I hate this meeting," can it also read the thought itself? Manufacturers say no—the resolution isn't high enough. Privacy advocates are less convinced.

Applications

Beyond texting, the impact on accessibility is profound. Paralysis patients are regaining digital agency at a scale never before seen. In gaming, "thought-reflex" is the new competitive edge.
