The device allows to get information from the human brain

This sounds like a science fiction movie, but scientists have 'hacked' human brains with devices that are currently available on the market today.

Researchers at the University of California and Oxford have found a way to get sensitive data, such as PIN or banking information, out of a person's head.

Specifically, scientists using the $ 299 Wireless Emotive wireless brain reader - allow people to communicate with computers with thoughts.

The human brain detects the P300 signal when encountering a familiar person.

Volunteers sit in front of a computer screen and see pictures of banks, people and Pin numbers. Later, scientists tracked signals in the brain, especially the P300 signal.

The P300 signal is emitted when people realize something meaningful and familiar, like someone or something they communicate with and meet regularly.

Scientists have found that learning can reduce the randomness of images by 15-40%, allowing them to guess the correct answer more easily.

What's interesting about the experiment is that the P300 signal can be used to detect if someone is lying, by checking whether the information the person has spoken is stored in memory.
