I would guess the internal representations are too different. Maybe some are inherited, but most develop over the course of your life.
You can think of it as MS Word vs. Libreoffice Writer. You don't get better interoperability by letting an app access the other app's memory, whcih is a crazy historically grown representation of memory-mapped structs.
And by accessing this private structure (and say memcpy'ing external data into it), you open yourself to lots of exploits, like buffer overflows. No way I'm letting somebody memcpy random information into my brain.
- Houshalter 9y agoIt's theoretically possible to reconstruct exact images of objects you are imagining. You could just show them an image of the yellow bus you saw. I wonder how communication would evolve with such an ability.
- scarmig 9y agoBut even exposing a brain to a visual or auditory input is letting an external environment inject random information into your brain, and that's not the kind of mental security vulnerability we worry about. Snow Crash notwithstanding.
