Awesome answer thanks! Do you think EEG can ever replace a keyboard and mouse?

No, not without some radical new insights :). But, why replace them? If you need something to replace them, probably you have a different need (e.g. hands-free, private communication, or expressing something that is hard to do consciously, like the level of pain, tiredness of familiarity of a face). Perhaps EEG can be used to fulfill that need instead.

So where do you think we'll see hands free private communication coming from? I can't really think of any technologies that might be able to do that.
Also replacing the keyboard is a worthwhile goal. A lot of people get RSI, and I think even at something fast like 100 wps our brain to computer "bandwidth" is pretty slow. (And typing fast takes a lot of practice)
