The ability to generalize patterns is the link between current brain-computer-interface (BCI) technology that must be recalibrated daily and solutions that might generalize for a single brain across time or even multiple brains (of which no two are alike).
Clearly, we respond to our fellow human beings not by processing the activity of their 80 billion neurons, but by recognizing latent patterns in their expressions and the vibrations of the air around them (sound/speech).
It looks like these models are the beginning of a path where software ascends that learning curve.
Exciting!
- staindk 5y agoThe other comments in this thread talking about aphantasia has caused me to realise/think I have that condition (and have had interesting chats with my family about it today). Now in context of your comment I'm wondering if people with aphantasia wouldn't perhaps do better at (current) BCI than those who have very image-intensive ways of thinking? Or perhaps it's the other way around - perhaps someone with aphantasia would do worse at BCI, especially if the current tech is based on interpreting images or something.
