Neuro-Synaptic Cognitive Interface

There have been a lot of online buzz about brain-computer interface (BCI) that are geared towards not only medical applications but military and commercial as well. But just how realistic are mind-reading and brain scanning devices in this age of technological advancement?

For a novel which revolves around the idea of a sentient AI, a portable headwear device with integrated electroencephalography (EEG) technology used for scanning and interpreting brain waves into electronic signals and information would seem like a plausible possibility in the near distant future. So yeah, I'm definitely including this topic as part of a conversational discussion in the story.

I named the prototype device engineered by Dr. Harper as a sort of neurosynaptic headwear (she's a neuroscientist after all). David would get his hand on one working sample to experiment on HAVAH, and perhaps later on Viper at a crucial juncture. As a first cut, here is an introduction:

The Neuro-Synaptic Cognitive Interface, or NSCI, as Dr. Harper called it, is a cutting-edge, wearable neuro-reading analyzer designed for neural exploration. Crafted with state-of-the-art neuro-sensing technology, this sleek head-mounted device is a convergence of neuro-quantum engineering and proprietary synaptic scanning methodologies.

Sounds impressive and promising, I must say.
