Watch the video, there is more information about it.
I just read the article and will definitely be watching the video when I can. What a wild story.
I believe it should work with some kind of brain waves(telepathy?), apparently some kind of device you put in your head and it read information from your brain, the spooky question would be if there is a way to make a device like that to be able to read information from someone's brain remotely. IDK this looks like a bad idea but anyway it's already here, according to the information I believe there will be more places where law get updated about it.
Edit: maybe it could be used for interrogation also, I mean you could know if someone it's saying the truth or not by reading their brain.
Kinda like how they threw that lady in jail in India based on brain scans. It wasn't remotely done, but that didn't matter.
Also, Davos 2016 had a discussion on all the "social justice" applications they could use brain scan technology on. Nevermind stuff like roughly reconstructing the movie you just watched. And, by now, they've had plenty of time to come up with more fun ways to apply this technology.
