The technology still has a long way to go before it can be used widely. However, Zijiao Chen, a PhD student at the National University of Singapore and one of the researchers on the study, wrote in an e-mail to Insider that with further development of the technology, it could be used in medicine, psychology and neuroscience.
Chen wrote that treatments for people with neurological disorders could potentially be produced with this technology. For example, people who cannot communicate verbally may instead communicate with their thoughts.
