By the year 2020, you won’t need a keyboard and mouse to control your computer, say Intel Corp. researchers, who are close to gaining the ability to build brain sensing technology into a headset that culd be used to manipulate a computer, working with associates at Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh.

Their next step is development of a tiny, far less cumbersome sensor that could be implanted inside the brain.
