Connecting brains to computers in order to type ??? Or Elon's Musk "neural lace" that enables interface between AI and brains ??? Such sad, shallow visions for such powerful technologies.
Maybe instead , we'll start really asking what is the good life(for both society and the person), we'll probably get answers like(from various philoshophers and religions): life full of love, compassion, empathy, peace, trancendence, meaning, service, self-actualiztion, health, etc.
And better understanding, control and training of the brain(maybe by using fmri neurofeedback) may be a great tool in achieving all of those qualities in a safe, effective and efficient manner, and of course fully based on personal choice.
How can this expand what it means to be human ? how could it shape society ?
And instead, we're talking about typing with the brain.
And we see this kind of thinking everywhere. for example , the world is filled with tons of "social" technologies, but we can't even get video chat with eye-contact, at people's homes ?
- no_wave 10y agoWe can, and do have video chat at eye-level but most people seem not to like it. Typing is a first step and is a great way of testing the technology and verifying that the sensors are working as expected, as it's extremely obvious how accurately they're working.
- lovebunny 10y agoThis is a start. The same technology will be used for great things.
- kafkaesq 10y agoHow can this expand what it means to be human? How could it shape society? "Typing with the brain" can not only be very useful, but potentially life-transforming for those with mobility impairments -- e.g. quadriplegics, and those fully or partially paralyzed for other reasons.
