I’m betting my money on Neuralink and Gabe Newell’s other company in partnership with OpenBCI is on my list too.The Walking Dead is an episodic adventure game developed by Telltale Games. This will get much better if we account any rate of development. In the world of medical grade invasive BCIs We could only implant few electrodes that were much bigger sticking out of the head with massive wires and attached massive computers Utah Array, Deep Brain stimulation but, now we can do it with a coin size device with no visible scar at all with electrodes less than the width of human hair (a quarter of the width of a human hair). Same is true for BCI as this law applies to all technologies since the Industrial Age. Why this sudden drop of time you say it is because they weren’t accounting for the law of accelerating returns. They were asked again some years later and they said 50 years. Based on current technology they said 100 years. In early 2000’s there was a study on pen and paper on Ai researchers then asking about when will Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) be a reality. We can’t really predict perfectly but Gabe is right, we are closer to the Matrix than people think because of the law of accelerating returns on technology. Lots of BCI developments been going on recently even though it exploded in the 90’s with many companies that are coming into public view, that wasn’t true years ago since there were very few companies. We’re exactly where people think we are: mere prototypes that can barely be used for simple tasks. So no, we’re not “closer than what people think”. Neurone 5 can be mixed up with neurone 6, and while neurones 1, 2 and 3 are active, the other neurones can be active too, meaning it would be another input. External BCIs barely work.Īlso, it’s not that easy to see what neurone is active.

The main problem, among many others, is the fact that mapping the brain accurately is close to impossible without surgery. If neurones 4, 5 and 6 are active, it’s read as another input (let’s say: “right click”).Īnd so on. If neurones 1, 2 and 3 are active, the BCI recognizes it and reads it as a specific input (let’s say: “left click”). That brain map is used as an input.įor example, let’s say we have only 10 neurones. Current BCI systems are mere prototypes, that can only read simple inputs after a long session of training, and definitely can’t write anything.įor those who don’t know how it works: the BCI device makes a map of your brain, showing its active zones. BCI is cool, but we are REALLY, REALLY FAR from an actually usable state.

And the fact that your immune system gets involved in your perception of temperature means there’s all sorts of weird parts of your brain that participate in the sensation of being cold, whereas your motor cortex your visual cortex are much more tractable problems.” It turns out your brain has really good interfaces for some things and really badly designed, kludgy interfaces for doing other things.

And I never would have guessed that before going into it. “I think connecting to people’s motor cortex and visual cortex is going to be way easier than people expected and doing things like reading and writing to somebody’s motor cortex is way more of a tractable problem than making people feel ‘cold’. Some things will be easy though, Newell maintains, citing some strangely unintuitive findings he experienced personally: “It would be like trying to describe the Internet to someone who’s never used the Internet before,” he says. In the face of projects such as Elon Musk’s Neuralink, which one day aims to create BCI implants for healthy, neurotypical users, talking about the possibility of ‘merging with AI’ is a complicated subject to address right now, Newell admits.
