Decoding The Brain

Brain activity decoded to play back heard words - The brain's representation of speech can be read out, decoded and reconstructed to play back words that a person is hearing, reports a team of researchers from the University of California, Berkeley

Not surprising, they already figure out the DNA code for humans, therefore decoding the rest on how the neurons process data from the eye into the brain is no different.

It is actually rather interesting to know that everything we see is simply a light of energy transferred into the lobe upside down and turned into an image. It makes anyone wonder if everything we see and feel is really existent.

The body is truly a magical miracle and one must wonder what the creator was thinking when he design it. It is perfect in every sense of the word.

I think in the next two years or so the overall process will be fully decoded just like the DNA code. Great info. Thx.

The Matrix has you, Neo.

I predict that there will be simulations into which you can load your genome at birth and it will predict very much about you, from habits and likes to quirks and disorders, not to mention everything about your phenotype and neurological function.

once computers become powerful enough, you could load this simulation into a massively parallel system and have hundreds (or thousands) of virtual people living out their lives as if they were real people. They may not even know the difference. What if a very accurate simulation of someone (down to their neural activity) starts asking "What am I? Am I in a simulation?" - does that become a living thing?

I also believe that eventually this simulation could run faster than real-time - so much so that we could project the course of human events and even evolution.

But then again, I'm crazy. IGNORE ME!!

The human body is far from perfect in just about any sense of the world.
