so they hooked up rat-brain-juice to some sensors and turned it on, eh?  i wonder how they can measure the actual thought of a living being.  i think the idea is great. maybe we can creat super powerful robots with human brains that we wont be able to undersand or control one day.

Watch in a few years you'll be able to connect wireless devices into your head (tired of reaching for that mouse/keyboard?), don't worry though it'll probibly only be output only. Then in a couple decades people who are expiring will begin to be hooked up to machines like this and old brains may become adapted to run automated factories and security systems.

Awesome.

I love things like this.

As long as I can download my consciousness somewhere before I die.

actually I doubt that aspect of it is possible or will be for a long time. Though wiring your brain up is getting close.

I'm only 25.  I'm reasonably healthy and medical technology advances all the time.  I think I have a good chance of living to be 100, so they have 75 years to develop this technology.

75 years ago computers didn't exist, we weren't even sure what space was much less how to get there, and lobotomies were the height of neuroscience.

I think we have a chance.  Although you're certainly correct, it is a long way to go.

Sory the hunter s tompson photo in your sig and your general attitude make me think your an old man. It's possible but it requires building a matrix for emulating neuro-networks, computers are awful at this right now. Then you would have to have your brain disassembled and translated into this electronic matrix.

You will be surprised sooner than you think.

Now think about this: Imagine your eyes were digitized (or "robotocized"; basically a different living substrate), now imagine your ears, your nose, and your mouth are digitized. These ideas aren't terribly controversial because they are more comfortable to deal with and don't really interfere with peoples ideas about what it means to be "conscious." Digitizing the brain is a much bigger obstacle to overcome because most people fail to recognize that it is a collection of parts much like the body is. A brain is not a singular organ; it is a networked grouping of different brains. So if you start digitizing each brain function one at a time - like the part that handles math, the part that handles memory, speech, etc... - it begins to look more probable that the human consciousness was really nothing more than an emergent effect built of a collection of organic machines.

That is way messed up.  What next organic tissue neuron based electronic super computers that learn?

I'm a little disturbed and a little skeptical at the same time.

It isn't digital it isn't analog it is neurological electronics.

Or maybe 'neurolog' or 'neuroital' electronics.  Scary stuff.

Imagine brain cells being used to make judgement calls in electronics for life or death situations.  Scary!




you make a few good points here.  you said: What next organic tissue neuron based electronic super computers that learn?

i believe this is a real possibility
