Unless there's something that I've missed, this seems like a lot of work just to essentially have the bird logo in place of the X logo.

The first thing I notice is that both the first and last authors of this paper are industry-affiliated. Not to say there's anything inherently problematic with that, but at least raises an eyebrow about the motivation behind this study

See the paper again (the methods are at the end of the paper). They reported 27 subjects.

Seems more like you are describing what is called the hypnagogic state ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypnagogia )

I wonder how this study can be used as evidence against determinism, ie., that humans really do possess free will. If the coin toss relevantly affects the person's decision, then it seems like random chance plays a key role in affectin

Hate to rain on this person's parade, but his findings are mostly meaningless. You cannot simply infer neurological activity from a single electrode. Besides the need for a proper ground/reference, you also need electrodes placed

Just came here to see if anyone else noticed it and it's funny that it's the only comment ATM :D I think someone should come up with a browser extension to disable custom scroll jacking.

I imagine that after 30 minutes of being inclined while using the keyboard/mouse, the reduced blood circulation in your hands and arms from gravitational resistance will cause them to be incredibly tired/ fatigued.

A wonderful piece, almost read like a novel. At the end, I couldn't help but try to derive some overall take-away. The best I could come up with was to cherish your friendships and always try to keep in touch. One concern I would have

The view of brain oscillations driving (or even partially modulating) neural activity is further supported by research involving stimulating the brain using Alternating Currents [1] I'm currently doing my PhD on this topic, and it seem

The only way this would be a killer feature in my book is if it analyses my entire inbox to generate the result. It would be more realistic since it is actually based on email and not published writing samples, which are not always indicati

True, but you have a much smaller "margin of error" (+/- 1 hour) as opposed to the many more inconveniences described in the article.

Cool experiment, but not letting your family in on it? Not sure how this will affect future trust issues...

I would venture the trend is because there are consumers (maybe a significant percentage) who, when comparing different options, simply make a choice based on "bigger is better".

Perhaps it's more practical and better with temporal resolution, but it depends on how concerned you are with spatial resolution too (which EEG is quite poor with).

I completely agree here. Good information here, and lots of potential when you think about it could be applied with other machine learning algorithms that are currently being used with "real-time fMRI". Indeed, I don't think

I'm actually a PhD student studying this exact technology in Germany. I can say without a doubt that this type of stimulation has proven potential in enhancing cognitive functions (if proper protocol and safety aspects are respected).
