hmm, I have seen similar experiments as Biggie was saying on the tube as well. The man controls the motion of a pixel on the screen just by thinking about it.
The challenge would be multi-fold -
- To connect to the human brain, to the subconscious
- To translate the pulses into a language (just imagine the complexity of the lexical tokenizer, it will be different for different people!!)
- To verify results
- Noise, what would and what wont qualify as noise? REM, does it count as a dream ... what about lucid dreams?
