Virtual Reality is brain science... but it ain't rocket science

"voices in the head" apparently can't think past the voices telling him to be an asshole...

lol; it might get "boring"? after a week! maybe a year??!!  rof just hillarious

What is your proudest achievement in the service of humanity?

your mentally ill if you think nanotubes are a perfect tool.....what i read about nanotubes has a few defects...but you chosen to ignore those defects

You record what happens in the subjects' head (the amount of synapses firing + the rate) when they get kicked in the groin. Then in the simulation when they are kicked in the groin a similar synapse firing algorythm is run. But like I said before, I don't think you would need to subject the subject to all of these specific excruciating pains in the real world, you could use a model (Blue Brain Project) and extrapolate the full range of sensation. You would only need a sensation base to work from

[vinbuik]

With molecular manufacturing, the nanotubes would be atomically precise, there would be no defects. If molecular manufactoring (nanofactories) turns out to be a flop, simply create carbon nanotubes from the current top down chemical engineering method, and organize them so that the system has adequate redundancies. Current power / data grids are far far more vulnerable than what is to be expected in the next 10 to 20 years.

I always knew you were a dumbass, but your lack of understanding of the complexity of the nervous system really betrays you. You're borderline retarded.

Nerve cells are neurons.

[bobcatofthewind]

it's totally impossible for carbon nanotubes to have anytype of defects ???is that what your telling me and nothing can go wrong...

That's like saying you can learn to play a guitar by smashing it against the wall. Your process includes inducing 'real life' pains that are excruciating. Is your ethics okay with that? Once again what's the 'code' to fool the brain into thinking it just got punched in the groin? Point remaining that the reach is exceeding the grasp in this discussion. I don't even want to contemplate the experimentation necessary to 'calibrate' these sensations.
