Introducing Google Brain Search for mobile
Tuesday, March 31, 2009 | 11:34 PM
Ever had a word on the tip of your tongue but just couldn't remember it? Or perhaps blanked on a person's name in a socially awkward situation? Or even suffered memory deterioration due to ordinary aging or questionable life choices? If so, Brain Search for mobile may be for you. Using our new CADIE technology, we can now index the content of your brain to make it searchable, thus bringing you aided retrieval of memories. Check out this video to see how it works:
Your phone already has an antenna, which can pick up wireless signals. CADIE technology modifies the input wavelengths so it can read brain waves. Go to the Brain Search App (here on a computer or here on a phone.) If you bring your phone to your forehead, your phone can index your brain, making it searchable.
Since your phone is now modified to read brainwaves, you don't even have to type your search. Put your phone to your forehead and think your query, then click on "Search me". This is helpful in situations where you don't want onlookers to know what you're searching for, so you can feel comfortable asking personal things such as "What did I eat that's making me so gassy?" or "Did I ever go out with that girl? She looks vaguely familiar." And, since CADIE's artificial neural networks run faster than those of a human being, it is faster for her to search through your thoughts and memories than for you to do it yourself.
Brain Search is available for the US, UK, France, Germany, and Italy, and on a number of different devices.
To get started on any of these, go to google.com on your mobile device, and click the Brain Search link.
Don't forget. Brain Search.

Be sure to enable content filtering under preferences, it might index thoughts you DON't want to be indexed!

I tried it today and it can't seem to recall what this was supposed to be about. Also the "jog your memory" function is not properly tied to the accelerometer in iPhone. When I shake it, I get "dance" as the response every time.

As an archaeologist, I greatly appreciate the potential this app has. However, when I use it to recall mediaeval Latin, hieroglyphs from the Ptolemaic dynasty, or anything from the late Uruk period to the earliest Dynastic period in Sumeria, BrainSearch auto-translates everything into English. Is it possible to disable the Rosetta feature, or are we stuck with that until the next release?
Thanks and cheers!

Installs just fine, keep getting a 'no data to index' notification though. Any thoughts?

Why can't I search the web through SMS, but I can lookup the weather?

@Justin: U can search via SMS, Google is providing this technology already in India where U just need to send a keyword to a perticuler no and after that u'll get results in form of text msg directly to ur phone.

@Aniruddh D: Currently in the US we have a command 'web "web search"' which returns results, perhaps it's the same feature?

@Justin: I think it's the same feature but the difference is you need to send your search terms to 466453 which can be a premium no so user can be charged for premium Text charge here they introduce a normal no 9-77-33-00000 so user don't need to pay premium charges just the standard charges and if user having a free TEXT plan then i think they don't have to pay anything..so it can be handy and free. U can find out more here:

At least Google's web snippet service is cheaper than the KGB service, which is a dollar per question, and usually works for most questions.
