RE: [Popular STEM] Curating the Internet: STEM digest for April 24, 2021
Interesting point about this being helpful for someone who is brain dead. My first thought was, "no way", but after thinking about it some more, I'm not so sure. Maybe.
I was also interested by the points that the monkeys didn't know about each other, and they each only controlled 2 dimensions, but still - they collaborated to manage 3 dimensions.
Ever since watching the Nicolelis TED talk, I have imagined a future where "going to work" means attaching a helmet with a brain-computer-interface to collaborate with the worldwide "brain net". We get connected at the beginning of the work day and disconnect at the end, just like we do with our laptops and desktops now.
So, I hadn't heard about that SONY project, but it definitely doesn't seem too far fetched to me.
I think that a helmet that communicates with an interface would be a bit ordinary if we had to go out on the street with it on, I prefer that they do it like tony stark's glasses.
I think these projects are long-term since it is in its beta version, another point is that governments approve its use in humans since there is a small possibility of damaging the brain.
We will see what the future holds for us, science and technology in these last 2 years are advancing at an enormous speed, it is a pity that in medicine we are taking a step backwards.
