It’s a great step forward and it might help with the human-computer interface. I’ve have spent a lot of time in the past working with people with brain injuries, hooking them up to the ‘Net to expand their “community” as most have mobility problems that “trap” them in their homes. There are a variety of input devices available, but some people just can’t use any of them. It would be nice is there was an easier way to connect them, as many are still creative, but need a way to express it.

I’ve maintained for years if we ever develop a computer with the ability to think at the level of a chicken, humans could be in trouble. If they can achieve true brain activity for a sustained period, the machine can learn on its own and I’ll need to change careers again.

Hmmmm — I supose the brain of our President could be modeled as follows:

Upon receiving any input, respond: “It’s not my fault!”

Still, the work the BBC reports is pretty cool!

It’s like a cheap ΨΦ flick where someone is doused in a liquid and their disguise melts revealing their reptilian core.
