Facebook announced the purchase of CTRL-Labs, a startup that develops software that allows people to control computers using pulses from the brain. On Tuesday, September 24, reports Bloomberg.

One of the company's developments is a bracelet that reads brain signals. For example, owners of such bracelets will be able to print text on a computer without using a keyboard. It will be enough for them to simply tap their fingers on the table, imitating typing.

According to the agency, this technology can later be implemented in smartphones and used in conjunction with virtual reality glasses. A person using glasses with a phone or bracelet can control a computer without a keyboard and mouse.

According to CNBC sources, the transaction amount ranged from $ 500 million to $ 1 billion.

Earlier in September it was reported that Facebook had launched a new dating and dating service. The application is called Facebook Dating and is available only for adult users. After registering in the service, you can choose a partner based on the preferences indicated by the client in his profile.
