The Human Interface

The WORLD is getting more INTERCONNECTED.

A BRAIN-COMPUTER Interface (BCI) makes it possible to connect a HUMAN, with a MACHINE.

And CONTROL… A MACHINE… with just BRAIN SIGNALS.

This type of technology is in its INFANCY…

… but we are making RAPID progress.

For example, researchers ASKED a paralysed man to IMAGINE he was writing using PEN and PAPER.

Then his neural inputs were decoded…

… and translated BRAIN SIGNALS associated with handwriting into TEXT, for the FIRST TIME.

Using only the thoughts he PRODUCED.

And then we also have…

…Brain-to-Brain (BBI) interfaces.

Enabling HUMAN to HUMAN communication.

With Brain-Computer interfaces acting as the middle-man.

MACHINES.

Bypassing the SENSES.

Touch, Smell, Taste, Sight, Hearing.

Bypassing… the HUMAN INTERFACE.

Or AUGMENTING the HUMAN EXPERIENCE.

Could THIS be the FUTURE of communication?

As this SCALES…

… think…

… a social network… enabling REAL-TIME…

… BRAIN to BRAIN communication….

…with Brain-Computer-Interfaces acting as “TRUSTED” MIDDLEMAN.

And ADVANCED VERSIONS of GPT-3-like TECHNOLOGY… BOTS… imitating HUMANS…

…effectively Non-Player Characters (NPCs) in a Computer Game.

AND…

…what if the BOTS…

… uses an future Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-like deep fake APPROACH…

… layered with a GPT-3 disinformation attack?

Generated REAL-TIME.

Add in MALWARE…

…and THIS… is … THE new FRONTIER…

…of HACKING!

It’s FACEBOOK, on STEROIDS…

…without the barrier… of the HUMAN INTERFACE.

Can you even TRUST… the ‘MAN IN THE MIDDLE’?

The COMPUTER INTERFACE in between BRAIN-to-BRAIN communications.

Do you TRUST a device that can perform DIRECT BRAIN STIMULATION…

… to NOT get hacked…

… and NOT be used against you?

Throughout your life, your brain continually monitors your PERIPHERALS…

… your SENSES…

…to update its INTERNAL MODEL of THE OUTSIDE WORLD…

…and PREDICT what TO DO NEXT.

In this vision of the future…

…through a BRAIN to BRAIN ‘Social network’…

…the neurons get LIVEWIRED…

…to do the same.

NOT through your SENSES…

BUT… by a LIVEWIRED… ‘social network’.

DIRECTLY COMMUNICATING with YOUR BRAIN.

A BAT will create a MODEL of the outside world based upon ULTRAVIOLET vision and ULTRASOUND.

For each SPECIES…

… the SENSORY EXPERIENCE of the world is DIFFERENT. 

This is called UMWELT!

The WORLD you model based upon INPUT.

Each SPECIES CREATE different INTERNAL REPRESENTATIONS… of the “REAL”world.

What you perceive as the world, is limited by your senses.

UMWELT is the PERCEIVED REALITY, based upon your SENSES.

And in the FUTURE, your UMWELT will NOT ONLY be created based upon your SENSES…

… but from a COMPUTER-TO-BRAIN INTERFACE…

… performing DIRECT BRAIN STIMULATION.

Adding one more INPUT for the BRAIN to…

… MODEL THE WORLD with.

Good… or Bad.
