Ohh, creepy. I thought I'd ask Google about synapses and other brain jargon to get my analogue straight and I got back in the top listing some information on one of my hobby horses: nerve transducers for data input instead of voice or typing. butler.cc.tut.fi;
Good grief, Mq, that is a Finnish site.
What do they know about neurology, cyberneurology, corticocerebral processes, or CDMA? They do make good cell phone covers, and perhaps nice hats, though the silly wool things with ear flaps and decorative reindeer look a bit like something Michael Moore should consider.
Thinking is like wet CDMA. Just you wait, some brilliant QCOM neuroCDMAlogist will find that thinking is all about neurons firing in a spread spectrum mode, with good connections made through the analogues to rake receivers that can pick up neural pilot codes, subject, of course, to exquisite power control so that the cocktail party stays at a reasonable level of conversation during reasoning and communication with others.
All this wetware will become hardware as QCOM discovers that neuroCDMA can be made to work outside the brain so as to allow brain-to-brain communication unmediated by anything except Q's software and chips.
Yes, CDMA nerve transducers like the ones you suggest will be made by QUALCOMM. We'll be rich again, happy and prosperous.
That is what It will look like, IMO.
And the Finns will still be making the covers.
And we'll still be bitching about inadequate batteries, though I suppose some of the Finnish hats could be fitted with photovoltaic gizmos. |
