Facebook has some interesting job postings right now.
The Taboo Sex Daughtertech giant is recruiting for positions including "brain-computer interface engineer," "haptics engineer," and "neural imaging engineer." Those positions are all part of Building 8, a fairly secretive hardware research group at the company.
The postings, spotted by Business Insider, suggest some major projects at Facebook. And those projects sound something like mind reading.
The Building 8 team is working on "seemingly impossible products that define new categories and that advance Facebook's mission of connecting the world." Those products will involve "breakthrough development at the intersection of ambitious science and product development."

Haptics engineers at Facebook will "develop software and hardware to create realistic and immersive haptics experiences." Haptics is a field covering interactions through touch, including communication by people or animals through touching.
A neural imaging engineer will work on "a project focused on developing novel non-invasive neuroimaging technologies." Neuroimaging describes the process of producing images of brain activity or structure.
Facebook's brain-computer interface engineer will be hired on a two-year contract to work on "advanced BCI technologies."
Facebook declined to comment to Business Insider. And the company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment from Mashable.
SEE ALSO: Leaked documents show Facebook's guidelines on hate speech are a muddled messEmployees in these jobs will work in partnerships with universities, so Facebook won't be developing mind reading technology entirely on its own. Many of these jobs require a PhD in neuroscience, computer science, physics or a type of engineering.
It's not crazy that Facebook would be working on a project that seems like science fiction. As Business Insider pointed out, in 2015 CEO Mark Zuckerberg said he believed that this technology was possible.
“One day, I believe we’ll be able to send full, rich thoughts to each other directly using technology," Zuckerberg said. "You’ll just be able to think of something and your friends will immediately be able to experience it too if you’d like."
