Eh, the near-term applications aren't too scary. They're recording from HVC, an area of the bird brain that does that does motor planning. I think it'd be fair

Eh, the near-term applications aren't too scary.
They're recording from HVC, an area of the bird brain that does that does motor planning. I think it'd be fair to say that HVC sits between the bird's intention to sing and the actual singing actions.
It's really impressive that they can decode enough to reproduce the song, but you could also access the song by....letting the bird sing it a fraction of a second later :-)
- everdev 9y agoYes, but I think the scary implication is being able to detect the song and then change it before it happens.
- jlkj8234hbn 9y agoWhat you described sounds susceptible to MITM attacks, no? Change or short-circuit just enough right before the action to cause a blip in hand-eye coordination, causing the target to topple down the stairs, or "slash wrist" instead of "cut carrot"?
