When John Chapin and I, 15 years ago, proposed in a paper that we would build something that we called a brain-machine interface, meaning connecting a brain to devices so that animals and humans could just move these devices, no matter how far they are from their own bodies, just by imagining what they want to do, our colleagues told us that we actually needed professional help, of the psychiatry variety.
Cando John Chapin e mais eu, hai 15 anos, propuxemos nun artigo que construiriamos un aparello chamado interface cerebro-máquina, grazas ao que se conectaría un cerebro a uns dispositivos de xeito que animais e humanos puideran movelos sen importar o lonxe que estiveran dos seus corpos só imaxinando o que querían facer, os nosos colegas dixéronnos que necesitabamos axuda profesional da especialidade psiquiátrica.
